According to TV By The Numbers, Succession didn’t break the top 25 shows on its premiere night, only scoring an 0.2 rating in the key 18-49 age demographic and winning 582,000 viewers.
That said, Succession seems to be a hit with a number of critics, and it airs in a solid time slot.
Succession premiered on Sunday, June 3, and two episodes have aired at this point.
After only two episodes, HBO can’t possibly have enough ratings information to predict if Succession will be a smash success with viewers, and the numbers for the first episode weren’t the highest.
