Spike’s “Tut” wrapped up 1.7 million total viewers in its premiere, adding another 900,000 audience members over the course of two encores.
The 9 p.m. premiere scored the highest audience for Spike in the time slot in seven years. There are two more nights of the scripted event series left.
Sunday’s debut telecast was sampled by 5.3 million viewers (with a one minute qualifier), with 7.4 million sampling over the course of the three total airings.
“We are thrilled that ‘Tut’ resonated with viewers and delivered a big audience for Spike’s first scripted event series in almost a decade,” said Sharon Levy, executive vice president, Spike Original Series.
