All 10 episodes of the new season of 'The Bear' just hit Hulu. Maybe they shouldn't have.
During both seasons, The Bear’s audience petered out fairly quickly, making it the equivalent of a darkly comedic shooting star. That’s typical for bingeable shows, which industry watchdogs like Parrot Analytics say typically have a “decay rate” of about eight weeks from their initial release. Shows dropped weekly, like The Acolyte or Severance, tend to stay on audience’s minds much longer, from initial release to about nine weeks after the finale hits.
More than 29 million people, or about a quarter of all US streaming subscribers, are estimated to have canceled three or more services over the past two years. A third of those “show chasers” then resubscribed within six months, and companies like Antenna say that “serial churners” account for about 40 percent of all new streaming subscriptions and cancellations.
