ABC drama The Rookie continued its strong delayed-viewing performance in week six of the season, more than doubling its adults 18-49 rating in three days.
The cop show starring Nathan Fillion grew from a 0.51 rating in the demographic for its Nov. 3 airing to a 1.09 with three days of delayed viewing. The Rookie‘s 112 percent gain was the largest for a show on the big four broadcast networks in the week of Oct. 28. (The CW’s Supergirl and Riverdale grew by 161 and 116 percent, respectively, starting from smaller same-day numbers than The Rookie.)
The Rookie also had the largest percentage gain in total viewers among the top 20, growing by 90 percent over three days (3.5 million viewers to 6.63 million). It was one of six shows to add at least 3 million viewers in three days, with CBS’ Blue Bloods (+3.71 million) leading the way. ABC’s The Good Doctor, which usually leads the total-viewer gains, aired a rerun.
