As the countdown to The Bear's final season ticks ever closer, fans are diving deep into Jeremy Allen White's filmography—and one heartbreaking indie has unexpectedly become a streaming sensation. After Everything, a 2018 romantic drama co-written and co-directed by Hannah Marks and Joey Power, has quietly climbed into Netflix's top ten most-streamed movies in the U.S., proving that great storytelling finds its audience eventually.
The film stars White alongside Maika Monroe in a raw, emotionally charged story about a young couple facing a terminal diagnosis. Despite its clever comedic touches, After Everything is a devastating examination of love under impossible circumstances. Critics praised it with an 84% score on Rotten Tomatoes, calling it "a remarkably honest, bittersweet, and fresh romance" and highlighting the "terrific performances by its young leads."
Now, eight years after its debut, the movie is enjoying a major second wind—just in time for White's most iconic role to take its final bow. The Bear Season 5 premieres June 25 on FX and Hulu, with all eight episodes dropping at once. The final season picks up after Carmy (White) has mysteriously quit the food industry, leaving his beloved restaurant in the hands of Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), and Natalie "Sugar" (Abby Elliott). Series creator Christopher Storer returns to helm the finale, joined by a stacked cast including Lionel Boyce, Liza Colón-Zayas, Matty Matheson, and returning favorites like Jamie Lee Curtis, Will Poulter, and Oliver Platt.
For those who want to experience White's range beyond the high-stress kitchen of The Bear, After Everything offers a quieter, more intimate showcase of his talent. It's a perfect companion piece for fans looking to appreciate the actor's emotional depth before the series wraps up.

Meanwhile, White's big-budget theatrical release The Mandalorian and Grogu hasn't fared as well. Despite a $165 million budget, the Star Wars spin-off has struggled to hit $330 million globally and has already fallen out of the domestic top five, overshadowed by viral horror hits like A24's Backrooms and Focus Features' Obsession.
But on streaming, After Everything is proving that sometimes the most powerful stories are the quietest ones. Whether you're catching up before The Bear's finale or just discovering this gem for the first time, it's a masterclass in understated, gut-wrenching storytelling.
