Arrow Ratings: “Legends of Yesterday” Hits A Season High

The overnight ratings for “Legends of Yesterday” are in, and they took Arrow to season highs. Even better? Numbers probably will go up more later today, and certainly once DVR is factored in.

“Legends of Yesterday” had 3.58 million viewers and a 1.3/4 in the demo, according to the initial overnights. It’s safe to say this crossover was a success!

Don’t forget, Arrow is new again next week with “Dark Waters” AND we’ll see Hawkman and Hawkgirl alongside such characters as Ray Palmer and Sara Lance in Legends of Tomorrow!

(Also: Mark Hamill, Wentworth Miller, Liam McIntyre are in next week’s Flash, which also introduces us to Keiynan Lonsdale as WALLY WEST! See pics from that one here.)

What did you think of Part 2 of the crossover? Come talk about it on our forum!

UPDATE: The CW was so happy with last night’s ratings that they put out a press release about it. You can find that below:
