Ratings: HBO’s “Westworld” Enjoys Big Gain In Week Three

The television broadcast of Sunday’s “Westworld” had key advantages over the previous episode.

The episode, unlike last week’s edition, had not been made available for early streaming on HBO Go/Now.

The episode, unlike last week’s edition, did not face competition from the presidential debate.

Unsurprisingly, it posted week-to-week gains in live+same-day viewership.

According to L+SD data posted by Showbuzz, Sunday’s “Westworld” drew a 0.92 adults 18-49 rating and 2.10 million total viewers. The numbers top the 0.67 rating and 1.50 million audience mark garnered by last week’s episode.

This week’s edition also topped the October 2 series premiere, which scored a 0.77 and 1.96 million total viewers.

In addition to drawing solid linear, live+same-day television viewership, “Westworld” seems to be very popular with multi-platform/streaming/encore/DVR viewers. It is clearly reaching a much wider audience than the 2.10 million who tuned in Sunday night.

— Benefiting from the increased lead-in support and decreased competition, “Divorce” also posted big gains this week. The “Westworld” lead-out drew a 0.24 adults 18-49 rating and 0.85 million viewers, besting the 0.14 rating and 0.57 million mark garnered by the previous week’s premiere.

“Insecure” followed with a 0.15 and 0.46 million. Last week’s episode drew a 0.11 and 0.37 million total viewers.

HBO’s night closed with “Last Week Tonight.” The show, which drew a 0.42 and 1.08 million viewers last week, posted a 0.49 and 1.34 million in viewership this week.
