The Walking Dead has once again shattered records

So how did the premiere do? WITHOUT Dish subscribers the premiere drew in 10.9 million viewers at its initial 9 p.m. showing and 15.2 million if you add in the encore which was up 50% from the season 2 premiere. It’s almost like people have a thing for zombies…

AMC’s president, Charlie Collier, had this to say:

Thank you to the fans for making ‘The Walking Dead’ such a tremendous success. We are honored and humbled that television’s largest adult audience resides on AMC. So many people on both sides of the camera worked tirelessly on this project, and I thank and congratulate each of them for their amazing contribution,”
