About This Soundtrack
Airing on FX and Hulu, the fifth season of FX's hit comedy-drama series The Bear returns with Jeremy Allen White starring as Carmy Berzatto, a brilliant young chef fighting to elevate his restaurant to Michelin-star glory. Created by Christopher Storer, the new season continues to explore the high-stress environment of the kitchen, capturing the intense team dynamics and deep emotional baggage of the crew. A special stand-out prequel episode titled 'Gary' takes a step back in time, focusing on Mikey (played by Jon Bernthal) and Richie (played by Ebon Moss-Bachrach) on a road trip, providing a heartbreaking look at their deep-rooted bond.
While the series is famously known for its lack of a traditional score, it features original instrumental pieces composed by Johnny Iguana and Jeffrey Qaiyum (JQ). The musical identity of The Bear Season 5 is primarily defined by a curated, nostalgic 'dad rock' and alternative soundtrack selected by showrunner Christopher Storer and executive producer Josh Senior. The tracklist features classic songs from legendary artists like Yes, Scotty, Wilbert Harrison, and Teddy Pendergrass, alongside a powerful trailer theme featuring The Who's epic 'Love Reign O'er Me'.
