The fifth and final season of The Bear picks up the morning after Sydney, Richie, and Natalie discover that Carmy has quit the food industry, leaving the restaurant entirely in their hands. No money. A threatened sale. A torrential storm incoming. One last service that may or may not earn them a Michelin star.

On linear FX, the premiere airs on June 25 with two episodes, then one new episode each subsequent Thursday through August 6. Hulu gets all eight on day one.

Toph joins the team this season, played by Miya Cech, who gets a significant amount of screen time from what the trailers show.

Adapted from a hit Kakao Webtoon, this Korean series follows a burned-out product planner who has sworn off dating after a painful breakup.

In the Hand of Dante on Netflix, June 24
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Platform | Netflix (also had a limited theatrical run starting June 12) |
| Date | June 24, 2026 |
| Release format | Movie |
| Paid / Free | Paid (Netflix from $8.99/month, with ads) |
| Genre | Historical crime drama |
| Cast | Oscar Isaac, Gal Gadot, Gerard Butler, Jason Momoa, Al Pacino, John Malkovich, Martin Scorsese |
| Rotten Tomatoes | 43% (critics) |
Julian Schnabel’s adaptation of Nick Tosches’ 2002 novel weaves two timelines: 14th-century Dante writing The Divine Comedy, and a modern-day author recruited by a mob boss to steal the original manuscript. Oscar Isaac plays both Dante and the contemporary writer. The cast is one of the more eclectic assembled in recent memory, with Gerard Butler, Jason Momoa, Al Pacino, and Martin Scorsese all in supporting roles.
The film premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival to mixed-to-negative reviews and currently sits at 43% on Rotten Tomatoes. Netflix acquired it after the festival run. It is worth watching as a curiosity if you are an Oscar Isaac completionist, but critical expectations should be calibrated accordingly.

What is free to watch this week
The major new originals dropping this week sit behind paid subscriptions. There are no free legal streaming premieres of the big titles in the US this week. Tubi carries select on-demand content from Fox Corporation including older seasons and library titles, but no new originals for the June 22-28 window. Free live TV services cover news, sports, and general entertainment without any of this week’s new original content.
If you want to watch any of the major titles without a subscription, digital rental is the most direct option. Avatar: Fire and Ash is currently available to rent on Amazon, Apple TV, and Vudu at standard digital rental pricing before it moves to free-with-Disney+ on June 24. After that date, a Disney+ subscription is the cheapest ongoing access path.
