Season two of “The Bear” had a successful premiere week, ranking high on the streaming charts. The FX-produced Hulu series garnered 853 million minutes of viewing time for the week of June 19-25, according to Nielsen. This was more than double its best performance for season one last year, where it only reached 349 million minutes. “The Bear” ranked second among original series and fifth among all titles, with Netflix’s “Black Mirror” taking the top spot with 1.55 billion minutes.
In addition to “The Bear,” other shows and movies also achieved significant viewership numbers during this week. Former USA series “Suits” led the overall rankings with 2.32 billion minutes, followed by “Black Mirror,” “SWAT,” and Netflix’s movie “Extraction 2,” which all surpassed the billion-minute mark. Marvel’s “Secret Invasion” made its mark with 461 million minutes for its premiere episode on Disney+, and Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” held onto a top 10 spot three weeks after its season finale.
It’s important to note that Nielsen’s streaming ratings only cover viewing on TV sets and do not include minutes watched on computers or mobile devices. These ratings also only measure U.S. audiences, not those in other countries.
