The Walking Dead’ Premiere Shatters Cable Demo Ratings Records, Draws 7.3 Million Total Viewers

Behind-the-scenes turmoil did little to slow down The Walking Dead ratings behemoth, which opened its second season at 9 PM last night to staggering numbers:

4.8 million viewers in Adults 18-49
4.2 million viewers in Adults 25-54
7.3 million total viewers for premiere
11 million total viewers for the night

The 18-49 and 25-54 tallies broke basic cable’s previous records posted by the premiere of USA Network’s The Dead Zone in June 2002 (4.0 million in 18-49, 4.1 million in 25-54). Compared with Walking Dead‘s highly rated series premiere last year (5.2 million total viewers, 3.5 million in 18-49), the Season 2 opener was up a whopping 38% in total viewers, 36% in 18-49 and 35% in 25-54. With the 9 PM airing and the 10:30 PM and 12:30 AM encores, the Walking Dead premiere drew a total of 11 million viewers. “The Walking Dead is one of those rare television programs that reaches both a core genre fan as well as broad audiences simply looking for a great, character-based story,” said AMC president Charlie Collier. “That The Walking Dead is now the most-watched drama in the history of basic cable is staggering, just like our zombies.” UPDATE: AMC’s talk show Talking Dead got off to a solid start at midnight, following the first rerun of the Walking Dead premiere. It averaged 1.2 million total viewers, 795,000 adults 18-49 and 735,000 adults 25-54.

I was super tardy on this one, but I happened to catch the premiere of Season 2 the other day, and thought it was dope. Went back and watched the last 2 or 3 episodes of the first season, since that was all they had On Demand. Need to start from the beginning, but I think I'm hooked already.

Where do they get those numbers from? Nobody asked me if I watched it.

Anyone know if the first season made it to dvd? I just watched the last 3-4 episodes of the first season on the marathon before I saw S02 premiere. I'm fucking hooked and I'm not normally into sci-fi shit. I think AMC has the best behind-the-scene teams on television.

Pretty sure I saw the dvd at Walmart

Sorry to bring bad news but Walking Dead is more about character development and story telling then Zombies. Zombies just so happen to be the backdrop of whats happening. The books stick to this theme and I dont see the show going to far away from that.

I will say though that when the zombie stuff does happen (and it will) its generally pretty dope. People die and main characters tend to fall off when hordes show up.

If they go from here where they went in the book some more crazy shit is about to go down really soon.
