Resurrection, Believe Ratings Open Strong
ABC’s new supernatural-themed drama won the night with nearly 14 million people
The numbers are in for the series premiere episodes of Resurrection and Believe, which both delivered strong opening performances this week.
ABC launched Resurrection on Sunday night (9/8c), drawing a very impressive 13.9 million viewers and a 3.8 rating in the 18 to 49 demographic.
The show easily toppled against The Good Wife on CBS (8.94 million), the premiere of Cosmos on FOX (5.77 million), and a repeat of The Voice on NBC (3.95 million).
On Monday NBC kicked off its new original series Believe at a special night and time, drawing a strong 10.56 million viewers and a 2.7 demo rating at 10/9c.
Believe was up against ABC’s The Bachelor special (10.97 million) and CBS’s Intelligence (6.62 million). This week it moves to its regular night and time, also airing Sundays at 9/8c.
Which show will hold onto its audience? Which show will prevail when they go head-to-head this Sunday night? (Or will The Walking Dead trounce them both in the time period?)
