Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors
"The Bear" has become one of the most popular shows on streaming, and the fourth series of the smash hit TV series debuted on FX on Hulu on June 25. With just days into the show making its grand return to the streaming platform, the FX company has already decided the fate of the fifth season.
According to a report from Deadline, "The Bear" has been renewed for a fifth season. What is interesting is that the report does not yet indicate if the next season will be the last.
The series stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmen "Carmy" Berzatto, Ebon-Moss Bachrach as Richard "Ritchie" Jerimovich, and Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu. Though there are no details quite yet about which of the cast will be returning, it was indicated that most of the actors were contracted for a fifth season, should it be greenlit.

Naturally, FX has jumped at the chance to bring back one of the best shows on television.
So far, "The Bear" has received a staggering 177 award nominations, has won 111 of those nominations, and has picked up 21 Primetime Emmy Award wins.
White has won Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series in back-to-back years and is likely to be nominated for a third year in a row.
It is not at all shocking that "The Bear" has been picked up for a fifth season, as the end of the fourth season revealed there is far more story to tell.

Family Adopts Dog From Texas Shelter, Her Journey to New Home Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A couple from Citrus Heights, California, had their new rescue dog flown in to them via plane, and the footage of her trip has left internet users in tears. In a viral TikTok video shared on Friday under the username @thecavileers, the pup can be seen napping at the back of the small plane, wearing headphones to protect her ears. Her owners Taylor and Jason Cavileer told Newsweek that Lumina was adopted from Hannah's Southern Paws Rescue in Dallas, Texas, and she had to be transported via plane to them, because it was too far from their home. The shelter transported her only up until Rancho Santa Fe, which is about eight to nine hours away from where the couple live, so they contacted another rescue program to get help taking her home.

Screenshots of the viral video show Lumina in headphones, right, being flown home by volunteer pilots. @thecavileers "Volunteer pilots (Promit Sinha and Victor Vasquez) flew her to Auburn, California, which is about 30 minutes from our home for us to pick her up. She was flown through the program Pilots n Paws, which is an organization that flies shelter dogs and rescue pups to their forever homes," the Cavileers said. According to her owners, Lumina has already settled in so beautifully, and it is like she has always been part of the family. "She's already figured out her favorite cozy spots, loves snuggling up with us, and follows us around like a little shadow. She's been so gentle, curious, and full of personality, and we're honestly amazed by how quickly she's adjusted. We're so proud of her and can't wait to see her continue to blossom in her forever home," the Cavileers said. Lumina and her two siblings were abandoned at an early age, all suffering from severe mange, and it seemed like they couldn't stand a chance, until Hannah's Southern Paws Rescue stepped in. The owners said: "Hannah gave Lumina and her sister the care, love, and medical attention they desperately needed to heal and thrive. Heartbreakingly, their brother didn't make it, but his memory lives on through his sisters. Thanks to Hannah and her rescue, Lumina now has a second chance—and we're so honored to be part of her journey." After losing their soul dog, Tiny, last year, the Cavileer family went on Petfinder to adopt another pup and give them a chance at life. That was when they met Lumina, who stole their hearts immediately. "She had already been adopted and returned twice, but now we understand why—she was meant to be ours all along. From the moment we met her, it just felt right. We are so happy she is a part of our family forever," the Cavileers said. In 2024, almost 3 million dogs entered shelters across the country, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA). In some states, shelter intake rates are much higher than others. Data by Statista shows that Western states usually deal with much higher numbers than Eastern ones. The state with the highest rate is New Mexico, which, in 2019, registered more than 3,200 animals surrendered per 100,000 inhabitants. Next up were Idaho, Colorado, Montana, and Nevada, all with more than 2,000 animals taken in per 100,000 residents. @thecavileers Huge thank you to our pilots who volunteered & flew her to us.

Hearts Break as Foster Dog Realizes She Can Finally Be Comfy in New Home
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. After months of smelling her bed and then walking away, thinking she wasn't allowed to be comfy, a foster dog named Meadow finally took her first nap on it, and internet users can't cope with the heartwarming footage. A viral TikTok video shared in June by the pup's foster carer, Shelsey Gonzales, under the username @thefatdog, shows the dog making herself comfortable on her bed for the very first time. She is wiggling her tail and rolling over on her back like it is the best day of her life. "POV [point of view]: My foster just realized she's allowed to be comfy," reads layover text in the clip. Gonzales, 29 years old from South Texas, told Newsweek that Meadow is estimated to be a 2-year-old Labrador retriever mix, who, after spending months thinking that she wasn't allowed to sleep on the bed, recently just realized that she actually is.

From left: Screenshots of the viral clip show Meadow slowly getting comfortable laying on her bed. @thefatdog "For months, she would sniff the dog beds but then just walk away and sleep right in front of them. She finally got the courage to step in a dog bed, but then she immediately jumped right out like she did something wrong," Gonzales said. "After realizing she wasn't in trouble, she attempted again. She started to relax her body and take in the new area. She later got back in the bed with so much more confidence, a pure 'look at me' moment," Gonzales added. Meadow arrived at Saving South Texas last year, after being found homeless and pregnant with 10 puppies. While one sadly passed, the shelter managed to re-home all the nine remaining ones. Meadow, however, didn't find a home, and so she is staying with Gonzales, as a foster. "Meadow has likely spent her entire life on the streets in fight or flight mode. This is her first experience in a real home. She needed time to decompress and learn that she can trust us," Gonzales said. "We've been fostering Meadow since April 13, 2025. She came to us extremely scared and shutdown. She was so scared she didn't use the bathroom for three days. I sat in silence with her and hand-fed her meals so I could start to gain some trust with her. We rewarded her for everything so she knew it was OK. "For example, when she would come out of her crate, we'd give her a reward. Walking on the leash, we'd reward every few steps; going potty outside, walking up to us. There are so many small details that are actually huge milestones for a scared dog." Positive reinforcement, which is the training method above described by Gonzales, is the best way to train your pup, because it is incredibly effective and doesn't ruin the bond with you. Dogs don't understand punishment, and so telling them off for their bad behaviors won't get you anywhere. Instead, they do understand praise and rewards; praising their good behaviors and ignoring the bad ones will make learning a lot easier on them. Meadow is available for adoption now in Texas, and, while she is on heartworm treatment, any interested adopter can finish her course of medication at home, and it will be fully funded by the shelter. Meadow will be available for out-of-state adoptions after her treatment is over in August. She is house- and crate-trained; she likes her space to relax but doesn't mind other animals around; and she is cat- and dog-friendly, although she needs her time to trust anyone, including humans. "[Meadow is] a big foodie who always finishes her meals. She loves cuddling on the couch. She's overall a very mellow and laid back dog. Over these two months, we have never seen her run," Gonzales said. "Even her time alone in the big backyard, she just sunbathes. We cannot wait to meet the person or family that falls madly in love with her." The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 4.9 million views and more than 752,000 likes on the platform. One user, User67889879, commented: "Sobbing at the tail wags and her rolling onto her back." Galatia Kyriakou posted: "I want to have a calm civilized conversation with the previous owners." Sophie added: "Don't know how people can foster, I'd end up with 50 dogs because I wouldn't want to let them go." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?

Rob McElhenney Explains ‘Douchey' Name Change Ahead of It's Always Sunny Season 17 Premiere — WATCH
Once you go Mac, you never go back. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star Rob McElhenney on Tuesday night decided to 'dedicate exactly one minute' to explaining his legal name change to Rob Mac, which was first reported by TMZ last week and already has hit FX's splash pages for It's Always Sunny. More from TVLine Save the Dates: Eva Longoria's Wrexham Spinoff, Drop on Peacock and More Young Frankenstein Series Eyed at FX From Mel Brooks and What We Do in the Shadows EPs Adults Finale Serves Up a Surprise Wedding and a New Love Triangle - Are You In for a Season 2? I said what I said. — Rob McElhenney (@RMcElhenney) July 1, 2025 'Yes, I'm shortening my name to Rob Mac. Mostly a stage name, but I digress,' the actor says in the video above, which he shared on X. 'Is it kinda douchey? Sure. But the amount of time that I have wasted trying to get people to either spell or say my name correctly' — as illustrated by a montage he tees up — 'is literally days of my life. Trust me, I added it up. 'Still, it's a family name — my grandparents, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins and I all share it, and I love them and I want to stay connected. There's heritage,' he notes. 'Except… it's not even really our f–king name. Not only have many generations changed its spelling' — including to Mclihenny, McElhennie and McElhenney — 'the current one was just given to my ancestor by a government official who decided that this was now the spelling,' changed from McIlhennie. '[M]ost people already call me Rob Mac anyway,' he says in closing. 'My family knows me and loves me regardless of how many syllables I have, and that's the only thing that I really care about.' In It's Always Sunny Season 17, arriving Wednesday, July 9 at 9/8c on FX, 'Ronald 'Mac' MacDonald (Rob Mac), Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Dennis Reynolds (Glenn Howerton), Dee Reynolds (Kaitlin Olson), and Frank Reynolds (Danny DeVito) return to shamelessly shed their 'niche' label for grander aspirations,' says the FX Networks splash page. 'They'll exploit cross-network promotion to increase market share; they'll scapegoat one of their own to avoid a PR backlash; they'll risk everything for a handshake with the Saudis; they'll bend the laws with side hustles to pad their pockets; and they'll change everything about themselves to appeal to a broader audience. 'And sure, like any corporate goon, the Gang craves money and parasitic social privileges. That's been plain since 2005,' the overview continues. 'But they're also human beings. They crave love… respect… conditional freedom… constant adulation… histrionic amounts of attention… non-stop gratification… and unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism. In Season 17, they'll chase down them all.' Want scoop on , or for any other TV show? Shoot an email to InsideLine@ and your question may be answered via Matt's Inside Line!
