• As Succession and Barry race towards unpredictable and wild May 28 finales, HBO itself is closing in on a full year of total Sunday night domination.
• Succession's fourth season premiere, "The Munsters" was met with an impressive 2.3 million viewers (a 33% increase from season 3). Episode 3 ("Connor's Wedding") drew 2.5 million viewers. Episodes 4 ("Honneymoon States") and 5 ("Kill List") both beat that series high when they pulled 2.6 million viewers.
• The show has also gotten a boost on streaming services, with season 4 episodes averaging 7.9 million viewers across all platforms. Season 3 had averaged 7.2 million viewers per episode.
• Thanks to their lead in, Barry has also seen a rating bump that matches the series high received back in 2019 when it had the final season of Game of Thrones as its lead in. On April 16 episode 1 ("yikes") premiered with 710,000 viewers and episode 2 ("the bestest place on earth") received 550,000 viewers. Since then they've gone on to reach an average audience of 2.5 million viewers, a massive increase from the original reports.
