The Bear’s fifth and final season premiered during the week of June 22-28, but the show faced a notable decline in viewership metrics. The season premiere generated 587 million minutes of viewing time, representing a 36 percent decrease from the fourth season’s opening week the previous year, which had accumulated 917 million minutes. Industry observers attributed the decline partly to an unusually crowded television landscape during late June, with six other streaming programs each surpassing the one billion-minute threshold during the same week. Additionally, linear television viewership was significantly concentrated on World Cup coverage during this period.
Netflix’s I Will Find You maintained its position atop the overall rankings for a second consecutive week, with viewership growing 35 percent to reach 2.48 billion minutes. Love Island USA on Peacock achieved its strongest weekly performance on record with 1.97 billion minutes, surpassing its previous high of 1.93 billion minutes from the prior season’s finale.
Several other programs registered viewing figures exceeding one billion minutes during the measurement period. The Last Ship, a former TNT series now available on Netflix, recorded 1.23 billion minutes. Avatar: The Last Airbender’s second season premiered June 25 and accumulated 1.07 billion minutes. Disney+ achieved strong numbers with Avatar: Fire and Ash at 1.01 billion minutes, while Bluey also reached 1.01 billion minutes, marking its strongest performance since early in the year.
House of the Dragon on HBO Max grew 46 percent to 931 million viewing minutes in the week following its season three premiere. On the film side, Netflix’s rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle ranked second on the movie chart with 748 million minutes, having grown 88 percent from its opening week.
