The show once again featured a stacked playlist, featuring hits from Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Wilco and Curtis Mayfield, among many more.

Donna Berzatto (Jamie Lee Curtis, who won an Emmy for the “Fishes” episode) is also in attendance and informs anyone who asks that she is not drinking tonight. Uncle Lee (Bob Odenkirk), returns as Donna’s friendly (sober) companion or maybe her boyfriend, even though it appeared three episodes ago that Donna and Cicero were romantically entwined.

No production timeline or release date for “The Bear” Season 5 was announced, though history suggests the show is likely to return in summer 2026. “The Bear” famously releases new seasons at the same time that Emmy voters are considering the previous season, ensuring that the show is top of mind during the home stretch of the Emmy race.
