The final season of The Bear has the restaurant’s crew dealing with, among many other things, flooding in the basement. The show itself also suffered from a deluge in its premiere week.

The Bear recorded 587 million minutes of viewing time for the week of June 22-28; the final season premiered June 25. That was down 36 percent from season four’s premiere week (917 million minutes) last year. An unusually busy week of TV for late June, with six other streaming titles topping the billion-minute mark, plus the World Cup dominating linear TV, may be partly to blame for the decline. (There were, however, five billion minute-plus shows in The Bear’s opening week in 2025.)

Netflix’s I Will Find You led the overall rankings for the second straight week, growing 35 percent to 2.48 billion minutes. Love Island USA also scored its best weekly total on record with 1.97 billion minutes; the Peacock show’s previous high was 1.93 billion minutes for the week of the 2025 season finale.

The other shows that scored more than a billion minutes of viewing were former TNT series The Last Ship (1.23 billion), the latest Netflix effect beneficiary; Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender (1.07 billion), whose second season premiered June 25; the streaming premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash (no relation) on Disney+ (1.01 billion); and Bluey (1.01 billion), which had its best showing since the first week of the year.

House of the Dragon grew by 46 percent to 931 million viewing minutes on HBO Max a week after its season three premiere. Dutton Ranch (727 million) also improved week to week as it approached its first season finale. The Agency (393 million on Paramount+) charted for the first time with the binge release of its second season.

After Fire and Ash, Netflix’s rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle finished second on the movie chart with 748 million minutes of watch time. It grew by 88 percent from its premiere week.
