Dubbed as political thriller series, Rubicon seems to be setting a new breed in television.
The show lured 2 million viewers Sunday night from 8-10PM, setting it the network's most-watched original drama series premiere ever.
After 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad', this is AMC's third series, and it appears to be on a winning line.
Comparing, 'Mad Men's' fourth season opener, which drew 2.9 billion viewers, the Sunday's episode attracted 2.5 million viewers following 'Rubicon.'
The 'Rubicon' made pundits surprise by the result, since the series' buzz was relatively quiet; AMC had already aired the pilot (to 1.1 million viewers) once after the 'Breaking Bad' finale in June. Additionally, the show had already been sampled by another 3.5 million pairs of eyeballs via VOD, iTunes and Hulu, Deadline Hollywood reported.
Charlie Collier, president and GM of AMC, said in a statement,"With last night's premiere of 'Rubicon,' AMC is now three for three with our original series, Rubicon' joins our hit series 'Mad Men' and 'Breaking Bad' cementing AMC's Sunday night as the place to go for premium programming on basic cable."
Rubicon can be watched next Sunday, and will move to its regular schedule, 9 PM.
Rubicon" will move to it's regular 9PM slot next Sunday.
