LOS ANGELES, July 11, 2013 – FX’s critically acclaimed new drama series The Bridge got off to a very good start last night as the premiere (10:00-11:31 PM) and first encore telecasts (11:31 PM-1:01 AM) combined to deliver 4.12 million Total Viewers. The premiere telecast delivered 3.04 million Total Viewers and 1.16 million Adults 18-49.
The audience delivery of The Bridge was on par with the debut of FX’s most recent drama series, The Americans (1/30/13, 10:00-11:38 PM), which posted a combined audience of 4.23 million Total Viewers for its premiere and first encore telecast – a difference of -2%.
“We could not be prouder of this amazing series which has garnered such incredible critical recognition,” said John Landgraf, CEO, FX Networks and FX Productions. “Meredith Stiehm and Elwood Reid have delivered a rich tapestry of intrigue and passion, and a story fraught with tension and suspense. And we’re so lucky to have Demian Bichir and Diane Kruger who so convincingly and appealingly embody their roles. We’re grateful to our partners at Shine America and can’t wait for audiences to see what happens next.”
