Meanwhile, the first official trailer of Season 6 of “Game of Thrones” came out on March 15 on HBO and less than 24 hours later, it made it to the record books.
The trailer got 30 million views online in less than 24 hours after it came out officially on HBO. It got 8 million views on YouTube and a jaw-dropping 22 million views on the TV show’s Facebook page.
The remarkable viewing figure on the TV series’ trailer only indicates the global anticipation on the Season 6 premiere of “Game of Thrones” which shall happen on HBO on April 24.
The 30 million views on the Season 6 trailer of “Game of Thrones” in less than 24 hours is actually three million higher than the 27 million views recorded by the official trailer of Season 5 of the TV series when it came out last year.
The immense popularity of “Game of Thrones” is very evident in its viewership figures and many critics believe that the show could actually outdo its record-breaking fifth season last year.
“Game of Thrones” Season 5 averaged 20.2 million viewers per episode, counting streaming, DVR playback, and repeats.
It is a remarkable figure and ratings for a TV series that is already in its fifth season. Most TV series suffer a decline in viewership right after the second or third season but in the case of “Game of Thrones,” it gets higher and higher every year.
