‘Prison Break’ Premiere Gets Strong L+3 Lift For Fox

5x02 "Kaniel Outis"
{Aired: April 11th, 2017}

Thanks for starting! shoukld start coming out in a couple hours or so.

Somebody will have to tell me if the ratings that come out are good or not :lmao:

Ratings are coming in. It did.. not bad indeed. Comments freaked me out, but when the numbers came in, they skewed young -- not surprising, since I feel the audience are young 18-34, opposed to 18-49

Almost eight years after leaving the air, Prison Break returned to Fox on Tuesday night. The limited revival, the latest of many at the broadcast home of The X Files and 24, got off to a decent start.

At 9 p.m., Prison Break averaged a 1.5 rating among adults 18-49 and 3.8 million viewers. In the demo, it was enough to at least tie NCIS as the top-rated non-reality offering of the night. The haul is obviously a fraction of the show's night of tune-in during its original 2005-2009 run, but the show should see some significant non-linear lifts down the line. After all, streaming is probably the reason there's new episodes of Prison Break at all. Long after it ended, the show found a new younger audience on Netflix — where it was once touted as the most popular streaming library series. The debut is also a vast improvement from how the final season of Bones had been performing in the hour — and from its comedy lead-ins.

Fox, which does not report on live-plus-same day ratings, will likely hold a beat before reporting on Prison Break consumption. In addition to lifts from live-plus-three and live-plus-seven day Nielsen returns, the show will also stream on several locations.

Fox’s nine-episode Prison Break revival premiered on Tuesday to 3.8 million total viewers and a 1.5 rating, improving on its “series finale” numbers from May 2009 (3.3 mil/1.2) and tying CBS’ NCIS as the night’s best-rated scripted program.

Prison Break thus almost doubled time slot predecessor Bones‘ final season demo average.

Still sounds like remarkable ratings :D tying with NCIS for top rating of the night - that's just early ratings too

The full ratings are as above it skewed very young, which not many shows tend to do.

Fox must be happy. Hopefully the audience keeps next week.

The audience should considering how amazing it was :D

And they say next week is even better!

Can't wait :thud: especially if it's meant to be better than the premiere

The second week is always the most scariest for any show because the ratings tend to always drop.:bawl: Hopefully PB can break the trend.

I think it will be steady or better :D

The series revival also post a 40% gain from its same-day performance (1.5/5), the second-highest lift among all midseason drama launches and a 40% jump from its Season 4 finale in 2009.

The premiered powered Fox to its highest-rated Tuesday night with entertainment programming in a year and also ranked No. 1 in adults 18-34, women 18-34, men 18-49 and men 18-34.

The DVR boost comes after a so-so start for Prison Break‘s first of nine new episodes following eight years away. In overnight numbers last week, the premiere was down 53% from what The X-Files revival drew in its regular slot premiere on January 25 last year, a Monday. Compared with its two-hour Season 4 premiere back on September 1, 2008, Tuesday’s debut of sorts was down 44% in the demo but up three-tenths from the Season 4 finale on May 15, 2009.

Added the premiere ratings into the OP :)

A little down, but that was always expected with shows after the premiere. But it skews young and did very well in that demo 18-34, crushes everything else.

Prison Break (3.2 mil/1.1) dropped 16 and 27 percent in Week 2.

Could raise in the finals later today, we'll see.

Aggh I hoped the premiere ratings to be much higher :/ if with a 20m. viewers record audience Fox still isn't moving to continue the X-Files reboot then what are the odds for Prison Break to continue... hope it holds steady though
