Big Little Lies Season 2 Premiere Scores Big Ratings

The second season of Big Little Lies scored huge ratings as it kicked off its second season this past Sunday.

The premier scored the shows second-largest audience ever, drawing 1.42 million viewers for its on-air premiere and 2.5 million including replays and streaming.

Sunday’s audience grew by 34 percent over the series debut in February 2017, which delivered 1.8 million viewers with replays and streaming.

HBO also says that the premiere drew series-high viewership on streaming platforms HBO Go and HBO Now, with combined viewing on the two services more than tripling that of the series premiere.

The shows award season success and positive season premiere surely aided the large ratings for the season 2 kickoff.
