The number of viewers is expected to go up considerably once delayed viewing is factored into the final numbers.
The season seven premiere, by comparison, averaged 16.1 million total viewers, including 10.1 million who watched on the linear channel and the rest coming from DVR and streaming.
That also beats the previous series high of 16.9 million multi-platform viewers for the season seven finale. However, the season seven finale drew 12.1 million linear viewers, meaning this season’s premiere was down slightly in that measure.
