The Bear returns for its final season – here is what to watch this week

June 25

The Bear, Disney+

The fifth and final season of The Bear begins in the aftermath of Carmy’s shock decision to walk away from the restaurant business, leaving Sydney, Richie and Natalie to pick up the pieces. With mounting debts, the prospect of a sale hanging over them and a major storm bearing down on Chicago, the future of the restaurant has never looked more uncertain. As pressure mounts from every direction, the team must pull together for one last push: a make-or-break service that could finally earn them a coveted Michelin star. Packed with the high-stakes kitchen drama, razor-sharp dialogue and emotional intensity that made the series a phenomenon, The Bear looks set to serve up a fitting finale.

Supergirl, cinemas everywhere

After a scene-stealing introduction in last year’s Superman, Kara Zor-El finally takes centre stage in her own adventure. Rising star Milly Alcock dons the cape for Supergirl, and the film follows a very different kind of Kryptonian hero. To mark her 21st birthday, Kara embarks on an intergalactic road trip that quickly veers off course when she becomes entangled in a young woman’s quest to avenge her father’s murder. The result is a cosmic adventure that blends action, emotion and plenty of offbeat humour.

Sugar, Apple TV

Los Angeles private investigator John Sugar has always viewed the world through the lens of classic cinema, and his life continues to play out like a stylish neo-noir thriller. Colin Farrell returns for the second season as the film-loving detective, who remains haunted by the disappearance of his sister and increasingly uncertain that he’ll ever find her. Personal heartbreak, however, doesn’t stop the day job. When a boxer hires Sugar to locate his troubled older brother, what begins as a straightforward missing-person case soon spirals into something far more dangerous.
