Sunday night’s fourth-season premiere of an award-winning AMC drama scored big numbers for the cable net, according to Multichannel News.

The "Breaking Bad" opener drew 2.6 million total viewers, up 32% from the 1.9 million who tuned in for the Season Three premiere back in March 2010.

It was the most-watched episode of the show in its history. Additionally, the 1.4 million viewers in the adults 18-49 demo represented AMC’s second-best premiere numbers, behind only the numbers put up for the October 2010 premiere of “The Walking Dead.”
