Sunday’s season two “The Leftovers” finale was the highest-rated and most-watched episode of the season.<\/p>\n

Per Nielsen cable data, the episode drew an improved 0.48 adults 18-49 rating and 993,000 total live+same-day viewers. The numbers top the 0.40 rating and 861,000 viewership mark posted by last week’s episode, which at the time ranked as season highs.<\/p>\n

Bolstered by season finale buzz, Sunday’s episode also benefited from the absence of competition from “The Walking Dead.”<\/p>\n

While the late-season uptick reflects favorably upon the show, its viewership numbers still markedly trail those of the first season.<\/p>\n

This week’s 993,000 viewership sum was the best of the second season. No first season episode drew fewer than 1.38 million.<\/p>\n

The first season, of course, benefited from airing in the summer (away from fall competition) and with lead-in support from one-time HBO flagship “True Blood.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048,437],"tags":[78,2487],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\nRatings: HBO's "The Leftovers" Jumps For Season Finale<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sunday's season two "The Leftovers" finale was the highest-rated and most-watched episode of the season.
