"The Walking Dead" shattered its own ratings record — again.
Sunday's Season 2 finale attracted 9 million total viewers, making it the highest-rated episode in series history. The figure easily beat the then-record 8.1 million the show's midseason premiere drew last month and grew more than 50 percent from the Season 1 closer.
The episode also scored 6 million viewers in in the adults 18-to-49 demographic and 5.3 million viewers in the adults 25-to-54 demo — both up more than 50 percent from last season's finale as well.
"Congratulations to everyone associated with AMC's 'The Walking Dead' and thank you to the fans for creating, literally, record-setting television," Charlie Collier, AMC's president, said in a statement.
