The second season premiere of HBO’s Game of Thrones delivered series-high ratings Sunday night.
Thrones returned to 3.9 million viewers. That’s up a massive
74 percent from its series debut last year. It also greatly improves
upon the show’s previous all-time high, which was just over 3 million
viewers. Including all three Sunday airings, the show delivered 6.3
million viewers. The numbers mean a third season renewal is pretty much
guaranteed (and also dissolves any concerns that last season’s killing
of popular characters would result in a dip).
