For better or worse — and we’re pretty sure it’s “worse” here — Van Helsing has a dedicated fanbase that loves the show, but it’s typically a far smaller fanbase than that of most shows.
On the other end of the dial, for instance, one of the latest episodes of The Walking Dead’s lower-rated Season 8 brought in 3.6 million viewers just in delayed viewings, which earned an impressive 1.7 demo rating.
While Season 1 generally had between 500,000-600,000 viewers per week, Season 2 hasn’t been able to bring in over a half-million in any of the episodes that have aired so far.
Plus, the key demo rating in the 18-49 age range hovers around the pretty paltry 0.10 range, which admittedly isn’t the worst for a genre cable show, but it’s also far from the best.
