Yup, The Walking Dead is still very popular.
AMC has sent out a press release that touts The Walking Dead Season 5 Episode 1 as the most-watched hour in series history.
Altogether, 17.3 million people tuned in to see Rick and company escape seemingly certain death at Terminus, with 11 million of those viewers falling into the advertiser-friendly demographic if 18-49-year olds.
Those would be staggering numbers for a network show, let alone one that airs on cable.
AMC President Charlie Collier made his feelings on the ratings well known via a gushing statement.
It's a Dead man's party. Who could ask for more?" said Charlie Collier, AMC president. "Enormous thanks to our friends and executive producers Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, Greg Nicotero – who also directed last night's terrific premiere – Gale Anne Hurd, Dave Alpert and Tom Luse and all of their fellow producers, cast and crew for everything they do to make the #1 show on television such a unique and incredible experience for the fans.
The Walking Dead is one of those increasingly rare shows today that can command a live audience not significantly cannibalized by time-shifted viewing. Who would have thought that cannibalized television could be curtailed by cannibal-ized television?
You can watch The Walking Dead online via our friends at TV Fanatic if you somehow missed the opener.
