Episodes of Season 4 are now averaging about 8.4M viewers across platforms, which is 50% above Season 3's episodic audience average , according to HBO.

Sunday proved to be a successful night for HBO, as Succession led the way for Barry to score a season-high audience. Its 779,000 viewers cross HBO Max and linear telecasts marked the series' best debut night audience since the Season 2 finale in 2019.

Season 2 of  Barry  was by far the most-watched in terms of same-day viewers. The season, which aired in 2019 before HBO Max was around, averaged about 1.6M viewers per episode on HBO. The Season 2 finale ushered in 2.7M viewers (up from 774,000 for the Season 1 finale), but it also had a lead-in from the final episode of  Game of Thrones , which was watched by about 19.3M people.

HBO says that viewership for the Season 4 premiere has jumped to 3.1M viewers, which puts it about 10% ahead of Season 3's debut episode at the same point in time.

The network ended the night with Episode 2 of Somebody Somewhere 's sophomore season. The audience was up 23% from the premiere's same-day viewership, with 286,000 people tuning in across linear telecasts and HBO Max. This marks the largest same-day audience for the series since it debuted in January 2022. Season 1 went on to average 1.8M viewers across platforms.

New episodes of  Succession  debut Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT on HBO Max, followed directly by  Barry  and then Somebody Somewhere .
