Successful viewership
TV series usually gets renewed whenever its ratings turn in a successful result. It so happens that the comedy has been a breakout.
The show became the most-watched comedy series in the FX Networks that it even beat comedy series Atlanta from the top spot.
It garnered an average episode audience of 5.32 million total viewers across streaming, VOD, and linear. Atlanta, which was the previous FX record holder, averaged 5.2 million total viewers on all platforms in its first season.
Nick Grad, president of original programming for FX Entertainment, said: “That is an extraordinary achievement for ‘Dave,’ the cast and crew as they teamed to make a memorable and brilliant season of television.”
Hard work pays off
Like any other TV shows, Dave aired on cable without knowing how it will be received by its viewers. But considering the big digital viewership, the comedy show’s hard work paid off.
Even American stand-up comedian Kevin Hart took notice of the series’ success in its first season.
“I swear hard work will always pay off…. @lildickytweets you had a vision with daveonfxx and believed in it and put the work in,” Hart wrote on his social media account.
