The viewership for The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale was the lowest it's been since the show's second season.
According to Deadline, 11.3 million viewers watched the episode, titled "The First Day of the Rest of Your Life" (read IGN's review), on Sunday night. While this marks a 7 percent increase in total viewing audience compared to last week's episode, the finale's total viewership was down 20 percent when compared to the Season 6 finale.
The viewership for The Walking Dead's Season 7 finale stands as the third lowest in the history of AMC's post-apocaplytic zombie series, just ahead of the first season's 5.97 million viewer count and Season 2's 8.99 million figure. Likewise, the finale's 5.9 rating is also the third lowest in the show's history, ahead of the 3.0 and 4.7 ratings garnered by Season 1 and Season 2, respectively.
Despite the decrease in viewership, The Walking Dead is still the top-rated show on TV, so there isn't much reason for fans to worry worry about it being taken off the air anytime soon. Back in October, before the premier of Season 7, AMC renewed the show for an eighth season.
