The final episode of “Riverdale” before Luke Perry died more than doubled its rating in delayed viewing.
The episode, which aired on Feb. 27, the same day Perry was hospitalized, saw a 133% bump from a 0.3 Live+Same Day rating to a 0.7 Live+7 rating. In terms of total viewership, the episode also doubled its tally, going from around 860,000 to 1.7 million total viewers. That compares favorably to show’s season averages, which are currently at a 0.4 rating and just over 1 million total viewers per episode.
“Riverdale” was the highest rated and the second most viewed show on The CW for the week, trailing only “Supergirl” which garnered a total of around 2 million viewers.
Elsewhere, Fox’s “The Masked Singer” was the clear overall winner in the Live+7 ratings, achieving close to a 4.0 rating across its two-hour season finale. However, in terms of total viewers, the singing competition was beaten out by “NCIS,” which had over 15.5 million total viewers to the Fox show’s 14 million.
