“Ravenswood” premiered on Oct. 22 after the annual “Pretty Little Liars” Halloween special. It became ABC Family’s highest-rated series premiere in the network’s key demographic, women 18-34. It was also cable’s biggest TV series debut in three years.

In Week 1, “Ravenswood” attracted 2.1 million total viewers. Among the channel’s key demo, it earned 789,000 viewers and a 2.3 rating. ABC declined to furnish TheWrap Week 2 ratings pending L+3 numbers.
