‘Game of Thrones’ Tops Comcast’s 2018 On-Demand Shows List – Even With No 2018 Episodes

The Wrap

“Game of Thrones” may have been dead this past year — but it definitely didn’t die.

Apart from keeping a spot on Reddit’s annual most popular TV shows chart and landing on 2018’s most-tweeted about programs list, Comcast just reveled the HBO fantasy epic was also its top video-on-demand series this year. And that’s all despite the fact “Game of Thrones” last aired a new episode in August 2017 and isn’t coming back with its last batch of fresh ones until April 2019.

The David Benioff and D.B. Weiss-created series was No. 1 among Comcast’s 22 million-plus subscribers, according to data from the company’s video service, which was published by USA Today on Wednesday.

Don’t worry, people did find something a little more recent to watch too, as NBC’s “This Is Us,” Starz’s “Power,” Fox’s “9-1-1” and ABC’s “The Good Doctor” also cracked the Top 5 list.

“The fact that that show is still ranked No. 1 across the board when it wasn’t even current is pretty incredible. It shows just how large of a following that show has (and) how new people are still discovering it,” Brynn Lev, VP of editorial and programming at Comcast Cable told USA Today.
