Game of Thrones finale becomes most-watched in HBO history

The first set of statistics for the finale of HBO's "Game of Thrones" has been released. The final episode of the eighth season of the show not only broke the ratings record of "Game of Thrones" itself, but also became the most watched series in HBO's history. According to statistics, a total of 13.6 million viewers watched the finale of this epic drama through live broadcast.

Combined with the on-demand replay record, the total number of viewers even exceeded 19.3 million. In fact, since the fifth season, the total ratings of the last episode of each season of "Game of Thrones" have broken the show's own record, but setting a new record in HBO's history is also a feat for "Game of Thrones".

As The Hollywood Reporter points out, the final season of Game of Thrones easily became the most watched season of the series, with the final episode of Season 7 still ranking third in the ratings, and the remaining five spots in the top six rankings have all been occupied by Season 8. At the same time, taking into account the constant flow of additional viewings during the week, HBO estimates that the average audience per episode this season can reach 44.2 million.
