The fourth and final season premiere of HBO’s “Succession” on Sunday night pulled in 2.3 million viewers.
That Live+Same Day figure is a combination of Nielsen’s measurement of the episode’s linear viewers on the network and Warner Bros. Discovery’s first-party data about HBO Max streams.
The figure marks a 33% improvement from the previous series high with the third season finale, which pulled in 1.7 million viewers in December 2021. It’s an even bigger 62% jump from the third season premiere.
Warner Bros. Discovery adds that fans began rewatching the first three seasons in significant numbers in the lead-up to the new run, with older seasons garnering a four-fold audience increase last week.
As a result, the third season is now averaging 7.2 million viewers per episode across platforms – very solid numbers but still only around a quarter of the numbers that HBO’s bigger hits like “The Last of Us” and “House of the Dragon” pulled in.
The final run picks up as Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Roman (Kieran Culkin), and Shiv Roy (Sarah Snook) attempt to gain power over their father, Logan (Brian Cox), who made a move to sell the family company out from under them.
