\n\tThe season two finale of The Last of Us<\/em><\/a> brought in a smaller first-night audience than either the season premiere in March or its first season finale in 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe season finale drew 3.7 million viewers on HBO and Max on its first night, down from 5.3 million for the season premiere in April. It\u2019s also well short of the 8.2 million viewers for the close of the first season in February 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tSome of the decline for the May 25 episode may be due to the fact that it debuted on the Memorial Day weekend, when viewing levels are typically lower than normal. HBO notes that the second season is averaging 37 million worldwide viewers across all platforms \u2014 \u201cworldwide\u201d being the key word there. Season one drew 32 million cross-platform viewers in the U.S. alone (HBO measures viewing for its shows for 90 days after a season premiere); HBO hasn\u2019t released a U.S.-only figure for the current season.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u2022 Fox Sports got a big turnout for its inaugural broadcast of the Indianapolis 500. The 109th edition of the race averaged 7.05 million viewers, the highest mark for the Indy 500 since 2008 (with the caveat that out of home viewing wasn\u2019t included in Nielsen\u2019s ratings until 2020). It was up 40 percent year to year (the 2024 race aired on NBC) and peaked with 8.4 million viewers from 4:15-4:30 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

\n\tFox is in the first year of a rights deal with IndyCar, which previously had a longstanding relationship with NBC Sports.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u2022 The seventh season premiere of The Chi<\/em> delivered 2 million cross-platform viewers over its first seven days. Showtime says it was also the most streamed premiere in the show\u2019s history, narrowly beating out the season 6B opener in May 2024. The Chi<\/em> has set premiere viewership records in each of its last three installments, a rarity for a show that has been around for as long as it has.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
