This isn't a huge surprise - but it's still impressive
Last night's Game of Thrones premiere was the most watched episode in the show's history - with 17.4 million people tuning in. It was also HBO's biggest streaming night ever.
From CNN:
The previous record for the show was the season seven finale, which nabbed 16.9 million viewers in August 2017. Viewership for Sunday's premiere was upmore than a million viewers from the season seven premiere in 2017.
