This Is Us is a huge hit for NBC and the much loved drama wowed executives once again with another huge ratings win. The season premiere managed to capture a 3.8 rating in adults 18-49 and 12.6 million viewers in its 9pm timeslot.
That is a whopping improvement of 36% in the demo compared to what the season 1 premiere achieved and a nice 12% increase over last season’s finale. The premiere episode also became the second most viewed This Is Us episode so far, only behind the season 1 finale’s 12.8 million viewers.
