I guess The Walking Dead Universe is still very much ALIVE. As the return of Rick Grimes became a ratings event! Rick and Machonne, or ‘RiChonne’, proved once and for all, that they are THE zombie-apocalypse power couple.
ACCORDING TO DEADLINE…
“Sunday night’s premiere of The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live delivered 3M viewers after three days of viewing, according to Nielsen. That makes it the biggest premiere night audience for a new AMC series in six years, since 2018’s premiere of The Terror (that episode had a lead-in from The Walking Dead).
The episode also performed well on streaming according to the company. The Ones Who Live premiere is now the most-watched episode of any show ever on AMC+. No specific numbers were released, but AMC did say the show’s viewership on streaming has already outpaced the first week of viewership for any season premiere on the platform.”
