The Walking Dead mid-season premiere ratings have dropped.
Sunday was a big night for cable television. AMC’s hit TV series The Walking Dead returned for the second half of its sixth season, and HBO launched what could be the most ambitious series of 2016, the Martin Scorsese 1970s rock drama Vinyl.
While Sunday’s season 6 midseason return delivered a ton of action, the show’s numbers have dropped from last year. The episode delivered 13.7 million viewers and a 6.8 rating among adults 18-49, dropping about 12% in total viewers from last February 5th season return. This is also down from the fall finale of 18.3 million total viewers. That’s a drop of 25%.
On the bright side, The Walking Dead is still the biggest adult demo rating for a scirpted series so far this year. While AMC is no longer posting record ratings every season like its first four years, it’s also not on the verge of getting cancelled.
