Game of Thrones scores 18.4 million viewers

George RR Martin’s fantasy series “Game Of Thrones” has become HBO’s most-watched TV show with around 18.4 million viewers per episode. According to a website, the award-winning series beat “The Sopranos” 2002 season’s record which has claimed 18.2 million viewers on an average per episode.

The 4th season of the show, which is based on the “A Song of Fire and Ice” novels, is currently airing, and has only two episodes remaining, while the channel has already renewed contract for the fifth and sixth season.

Earlier this week George RR Martin suggested that the hit US show may require more than its allotted seven seasons, and even a movie, to tell his full story.
