Euphoria’s season 1 finale receives series high ratings
As Euphoria hits a series high with its finale viewership, it has also become the cable giant’s second most social series, right after Game of Thrones.
Euphoria quickly found its target audience and became a sensational hit amongst teens and young adults. And the series, which wrapped up last Sunday, has just solidified its popularity with huge viewing figures according to a report from Deadline.
According to Deadline, the season 1 finale of the new HBO Drama Euphoria garnered over 530,000 live viewers during its original air time last Sunday on the cable giant. Although the figure is not exactly staggering, Euphoria‘s major shares come from streaming and delayed viewing as the Zendaya-starring breakout hit reached over a total of 1.2 million viewers through HBO GO and HBO NOW, which was its series high.
Euphoria has been surrounded by some real controversies ever since the show premiered back in June. But even after all that, the show has managed to overcome and has prove itself to the critics with the help of the amazing performances by its impressive cast, especially by Zendaya and Jacob Elordi.
