Game of Thrones' Season 6 Finale Ratings Hit Series High
"The Winds of Winter" took the crown from the Season 5 finale
Game of Thrones broke its own record Sunday night, when the HBO fantasy series' Season 6 finale hit a new series ratings high. About 8.9 million viewers tuned in to "The Winds of Winter," according to The Hollywood Reporter, besting the Season 5 finale's previous high of 8.1 million.
Season 6 has averaged 23.3 million viewers per episode across all ways of viewing, including premieres, reruns, DVR and streaming. On average, 7.3 million people watched first airings on Sunday during Season 6, so the finale was way up even within the season.
The Season 6 finale is also the highest-rated episode of the series, drawing a 4.4 in the adults 18-to-49 demographic, but do you think it's the best episode as well?
