Comcast, a cable provider to over 22 million US residents, recently revealed its most on-demand programming in 2018. While some of the top performers probably won’t be a surprise to you, there are a few titles on the list that piqued our interest.

According to a report from USA Today, HBO’s seminal fantasy series, Game of Thrones, is the No. 1 on-demand show of 2018. Game of Thrones is one of the most-watched dramas in the world, but there hasn’t been a new episode since the season 7 finale (“The Dragon and the Wolf”) aired back in August of 2017. Even after such a long hiatus, viewers are still catching up, or rewatching this juggernaut of a show.

Brynn Lev, VP of programming at Comcast Cable, spoke to USA Today about the continued success of Game of Thrones, “The Fact that that show ranked No. 1 across the board when it wasn’t even current is pretty incredible. It shows just how large of a following that show has (and) how new people are still discovering it.”

The Sopranos is another surprise addition, especially since it concluded over 10 years ago. Coming in at No. 11, the iconic mob drama is still a force to be reckoned with, beating out current hits like The Voice and The Resident.
