This past Sunday, Showtime’s Homeland really set the mark high for the network as it reached a series high as it ended it’s third season.
According to Nielsen estimates, viewers of the 9 p.m. telecast and same-night DVR playback averaged at about 2.4 million viewers for the show’s finale. This number is up 12% from last year’s finale, which was the show’s previous high. If you factor in the 500,000 people that also caught the rerun of the show at 11 p.m., Homeland landed 2.9 million viewers.
When Homeland first debuted in 2011, it was airing immediately after another one of Showtime’s popular series Dexter. Now that Dexter has ended, Homeland‘s surge in viewers can predominantly attributed to general popularity of the show.
Though I have fallen off the Homeland wagon briefly, the show has been averaging 7 million weekly viewers which is up 18% from their last season.
Even though this uptake in viewers is great and reassuring for the show as well as Showtime, Homeland has already been confirmed for a fourth season and will return to our screens in 2014!
