NBC scored on Easter Sunday with the premiere of “A.D. The Bible Continues,” which was the night’s top-rated program even if it wasn’t as strong as the 2013 version of “The Bible” on cable network History. It was slower going, though, for the net’s launch of “American Odyssey” in the night’s closing hour.
According to preliminary national estimates from Nielsen, “A.D. The Bible Continues” averaged a 2.3 rating/7 share in adults 18-49 and 9.5 million viewers overall in the 9 o’clock hour, more than doubling its lead-in from “Dateline” (1.0/3 in 18-49, 4.6 million viewers overall) and also more than doubling the Peacock’s recent average in the Sunday-at-9 hour with specials (1.1). One week after AMC’s “The Walking Dead” wrapped, the NBC newcomer figures to stand as Sunday’s No. 1 program in both 18-49 and 25-54 (3.0/7).
