What Happens in Season 5?
The critically acclaimed FX series follows chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), who has been transforming his Chicago restaurant after his brother's tragic death. With help from cousin Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and sous-chef Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), the restaurant began successfully but received mixed reviews.

Official Synopsis and Details
According to the official synopsis: "It all boils down to this" as the team faces "no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm" in their quest for perfection. The season includes appearances from Oliver Platt, Will Poulter, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Previous celebrity cameos include John Cena, Brie Larson, John Mulaney, and Bob Odenkirk.
Fans can enjoy a surprise hour-long flashback episode titled 'Gary' featuring Richie and Jon Bernthal as Carmy's late brother Mikey. As the synopsis teases: "Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant 'perfect' might not be the food, but the people."
