Cable channel AMC brought in huge ratings with the second season finale of its popular zombie apocalypse drama. The episode brought in 9 million viewers which is a 51% increase from the season 1 finale and is a cable ratings record. It’s also a good bit more than the previously record-breaking 8 million people who tuned in for the mid-season premier back in February.
In addition to the inevitable blood and gore, fans of the comic books should be excited by the arrival of a new character, Michonne. The character will be played by actress Danai Gurira and will presumably feature prominently in the next season of the show.
