Game of Thrones viewership stays level with Battle of the Bastards

This week’s crowd of viewers

The numbers are in. Battle of the Bastards was seen by 7.66 million people during the first airing, which is in the same range as last week’s Game of Thrones episode (7.60 mil) – but with a proviso that episode 609 ran again the decisive 7th game of the NBA finals, which understandably drew a huge audience.

Does refering to the NBA game sound like an excuse? Eh, I don’t really care. At the moment, I am really looking forward to the finale, and hopefully the viewers in general are just as hooked. Several things have been set up to explode in the last episode this season, and I’m curious to see even the quieter moments dealing with the fallout of the Epic 9 that was Battle of the Bastards. We are likely getting an Epic 10 this year as well, if you ask me.

In the past seasons, the finale always saw at least some uptick in the number of live viewers. Let’s see what happens next week.
