AMC's The Walking Dead Has Record Breaking Premiere
Oct 25, 2016
The death of two major characters gave the seventh season premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead a huge ratings boost for the long running series. With an audience of 17 million viewers, The Walking Dead scored an incredible rating of 8.4 among adults 18-49 with a 22 percent increase over the season six finale. While the season seven premiere did fall short of the record breaking season five premiere, which had over 17.3 million viewers, AMC expects the ratings to set a new record once all forms of viewing are tallied.
