Beyond beating Sons by a whopping 64% in total viewers when comparing premieres, FX also says the show did well in Live+3 ratings, becoming the most-watched cable series premiere in the 18-24 and 25-54 demos.
That’s somewhat to be expected, as the spinoff already has fans showing up who enjoyed the other motorcycle club-based series.
Still, I’m sure Kurt Sutter, co-creator Elgin James and the rest of the cast are happy to hear people are still interested in this type of show.
In addition to the large number of total viewers–at least when compared to plenty of other cable to shows, according to the cable network, Mayans M.C. has already beat out the original Sons of Anarchy premiere in the ratings.
