Did you watch the season four finale of The Walking Dead? If so, you weren’t alone. The finale drew in 15.7 million total viewers, setting a brand new record for a season finale of the AMC series. Overall, season four averaged 13.3 million viewers per episode which is up over 24% from season three.
 
“The linear television business is Dead and well,” said Charlie Collier, AMC president. “Thanks to Robert Kirkman, Scott Gimple, the other terrific executive producers and the entire cast, crew and network for working together to bring the fans (myself included) another unforgettable season of The Walking Dead. To see this show serve as the centerpiece of a truly historic night on AMC is truly gratifying. So many played a role in this success, across all three shows, in giving the fans a reason to continue to return in ever-greater numbers. And so we say, until next fall, ‘Welcome to Terminus.’”


According to AMC, the season finale also dominated the Twitterverse and earned the title of the #1 non-sports related program of the night on Twitter. At 9:22pm ET, 84% of all television-related Tweets were about The Walking Dead.
