The Bear got a surprise prequel episode that you can watch right now.

“Gary” stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach (Richie) and Jon Bernthal (Mikey) and was written by the pair, according to Moss-Bachrach. It’s available now on Hulu.

It’s a small treat ahead of season five of The Bear, which will be the show’s last and is expected to debut in June.
