The second episode of the eighth and final season of “Game of Thrones” scored 15.9 million multiplatform viewers on Sunday, according to HBO. And while that overall-audience figure posted by Episode 802, titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” rivals the (former) size of The Wall, it is down 9% from the one the week-ago Season 8 premiere racked up.
On April 14, the Season 8 premiere of “Game of Thrones” pulled in 17.4 million multiplatform viewers, setting a new series record and accounting for “the largest night of streaming activity ever for HBO,” per the pay-TV channel.
