Game of Thrones episode 602 viewership slightly down compared to the premiere 

We had to wait a bit for the number today, but they are in: the initial airing of

was seen by 7.29 million viewers on Sunday (compared to 7.94 million last week). With that, it was easily the most viewed cable programme of the night. Despite the expected post-premiere drop, 602 was the fourth most watched episode so far.

The source does not report on how many watched the repeat later on Sunday, but everything will be tallied in the totals, of course – and I am looking forward to the first report from HBO on the average viewers per episode this year, whenever it comes.

can’t wait for the total amount to be announced, re watches and all.

Taking into account UK broadcast time is 2am?

Whatcha not talkin’ bout wylis? *ahem* HODOR

Excellent rating. Last season there was quite a big drop after the premiere (which is always going to have added interest), so this is a great rating.

I’m glad they brought back Snow in episode 2, now I feel like I can just focus on the plotlines going forward. Episodes 1 and 2 I was so hyperfocused on Snow and whether he was going to be revived or not, that I missed some other stuff.

Think it’s bound to go way up now though, now with Jon back and that “cliffhanger.”

I wonder now though what role Thoros is going to play….

This is only for HBO’s first airing on TV on the US. Not other countries, not streaming, etc. Obviously the global total viewership is massively larger.

Considering this is reported to be the biggest season for Jon Snow, and Kit the actor who was most time on set, I wouldn’t be so sure.
