The Bear‘s entire third season was released June 26 on Hulu, and the Emmy-winning FX series quickly shot to No. 1 on Nielsen‘s chart of streaming originals for the week of June 24-30 with 1.2 billion viewing minutes.
That was good for No. 3 overall, behind two Netflix-powered acquired titles, Your Honor (1.6B) and Dexter (1.5B).
After Your Honor first hit No. 1 the week of June 3 before being dethroned by Bridgerton with the release of the latter’s Season 3B, the legal thriller starring Bryan Cranston retook the top spot, though its weekly viewing minutes dipped for the first time since the series was released on Netflix on May 31. (It continues to be available on Paramount+, with Nielsen counting the combined viewership.)
Similarly, Dexter, which also is on Paramount+, returned to Netflix on June 19 after a three-and-a-half-year break, fueling the rise in its consumption from 802M minutes the week before.
As fans quickly binged through the latest episodes of Bridgerton, the Netflix Regency era drama’s viewership dropped a steep 54% to 1.1 billion and No. 5.
Overall, an impressive four original series clocked in more than 1 billion minutes viewed: FX/Hulu’s The Bear, Prime Video’s The Boys, Netflix’s Bridgerton and HBO’s House of the Dragon on Max.
What’s more, the floor of the overall Top 10 keeps rising as the No. 10 show this week, Family Guy on Hulu, logged 892 million minutes, the most viewing ever for a 10th-ranked title.
