NBC‘s Hannibal debuted season two on a new night, Friday, to 3.4 million total viewers and a 1.1 rating among A18-49. That’s no match for its series premiere (4.4 million/1.6) in a Thursday slot, but a major boost from its freshman finale (2 million/.8 in the demo).

The season two premiere of History‘s Vikings averaged 3.6 million total viewers, 1.8 million A25-54 and 1.7 million A18-49.

While it’s down from last year’s The Bible-led series premiere, which had 6.2 million viewers, the debut was up 3 percent in total viewers and 6 percent in the A18-49 demo from season one’s last four episodes, which didn’t have the Bible advantage.
