Since airing at the start of January, Channel 4's new drama Kiri has really gripped the British public and that's reflected by the viewing figures that Channel 4 have just revealed.
In case you missed it, Kiri follows social worker Miriam Grayson (Sarah Lancashire) whose life gets thrown into disarray after a nine-year-old child in her care - Kiri - goes missing.
Throughout the four-part series, Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) kept the viewers on their toes because he expertly toyed with the idea that everyone's a suspect. If you haven't seen ti then we're not going to spoil it for you but it has proven to be a massive success.
Channel 4 released their consolidated viewing figures today and they've revealed that the show was watched by an average of nearly five million viewers – the largest for a Channel 4 drama since modern records began.
The four-part drama starring Sarah Lancashire was watched by an average of 4.9m viewers an audience share of 18.7% (timeshifted viewing) – up 2.1m on the average number of viewers who watched Kiri go out live. And it is the biggest ever drama series on All 4 achieving more than half a million views per episode.
Channel 4’s Head of Drama, Beth Willis, said: “Dramas like Kiri - British, topical, complex and illuminating - are exactly the kind of dramas we want to make at Channel 4 and we are thrilled that they’re able to find such a huge and engaged audience. We are honoured that the brilliant Jack Thorne, The Forge, and the astonishing cast felt that Channel 4 was the right home for this thoughtful and gripping drama.“
