Walking Dead Premiere Tops Fall TV Ratings

The Season 3 premiere of AMC's The Walking Dead delivered the biggest ratings in the adult demo than any other entertainment series this fall (including all broadcast shows), earning its highest rating to date, more than 50% over last season's premiere.

Last night's third season premiere aired to the tune of 10.9 million viewers for its first telecast, with an adult 18-49 demo rating of 5.8. For reference, ABC's Modern Family -- which was previously the highest rated show this fall -- earned a 5.5 rating. Needless to say, for AMC -- a pay cable network -- 5.8 is pretty damn impressive.

IGN Speaks with comic series creator Robert Kirkman

Said AMC President Charlie Collier, "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."
