For four seasons, Walter White HAS climbed to the top of the drug world and for "Breaking Bad's" final season, he's at the top of game history and at the top of the ratings. The fifth season premiere of the AMC series grabbed the show's biggest audience to date, with 2.9 million viewers.
That audience was up 14% from the previous season the first year and posted impressive 34% increase in the coveted 18-49 demo. All Told, the season premiere grabbed 3.5 million viewers, Even factoring in the airing later in the night.
The high rating is Surprising Especially considering AMC That Was Not Carried by Dish Network on Sunday night due to a fee dispute. That Was 14 million potential viewers without AMC. However, That Does not Necessarily mean THEY Did not see it. AMC streamed the first season online for Dish Customers.
Though this is the final season for the Emmy-winning series, It Does not mean it's going off the air soon. AMC HAS Chosen to break up the final season airing segments Into Two Nearly a year apart. After the current eight-episode airing, the last eight episodes Will air in the summer of 2013.
At the San Diego Comic-Con International over the weekend, series creator Vince Gilligan Revealed That the show's final season Will take up Partially in Hamburg, Germany, home of the multinational corporation That Helped fund the drug empire of White's (now-deceased) rival Gus Fring.
Despite the impressive ratings, "Breaking Bad" Is not the highest-rated show on AMC. That honor still goes to "The Walking Dead," which drew a record 8.99 million viewers.
