‘Walking Dead’ finale draws record ratings

AMC’s The Walking Dead finale set a ratings record for the network, clocking a truly impressive 9 million viewers.

The second season closer was the show’s highest-rated episode ever (and likely AMC’s most-watched episode of series television ever). A full 6 million of those viewers were among adults 18-49, too, which is quite a trick to pull off.
