Rankings determined by the actual page views
of IMDb’s hundreds of millions of customers worldwide; Game of
Thrones ranks No. 1 for the sixth consecutive year on IMDb’s 2017
year-end list; The Alienist is the 2018 show fans are most
interested in, as determined by IMDb’s authoritative data
IMDb (www.imdb.com), the world’s most popular and authoritative
source for movie, TV and celebrity content, today unveiled the Top
10 TV shows of 2017 and the Top 10 most anticipated shows and
miniseries of 2018. Rather than base its annual rankings on small
statistical samplings, reviews of professional critics or Nielsen
ratings, IMDb uses data from IMDbPro’s exclusive TV rankings to
determine these lists, which are based on the actual page views of
the more than 250 million monthly unique visitors to IMDb.
IMDb’s Best of 2017 section features a variety of additional
year-end Top 10 lists, more of which will be unveiled over the
coming weeks, as well as retrospective photo galleries, trailers,
original videos (including an In Memoriam video) and other year-end
coverage. To visit IMDb’s Best of 2017 section, go to:

“Game of Thrones’ unprecedented six-year run as the No. 1 show
of the year as determined by IMDbPro’s exclusive TV rankings,
speaks to the creativity and artistry of the more than 5,000 cast
and crew who have contributed their talents to the show since it
premiered in 2011,” said Matt Kumin, Head of IMDbPro. “IMDbPro is
the essential resource for entertainment industry professionals who
serve both in front of and behind the camera.”
“Rick and Morty joins our 2017 list at the No. 4 spot, making
history as the first animated show to chart on IMDb’s year-end Top
TV list,” said Keith Simanton, IMDb’s Senior Film Editor. “The
Adult Swim show broke out this year. The show’s plea to bring back
McDonald’s Szechuan Sauce made national news, and the introduction
of ‘Pickle Rick’ quickly became a fan favorite, among many other
memorable highlights of this last season.”
“Four new series premiered on our top 10 year-end list in 2017,
not only connecting with audiences, but also beating out
established shows and fan favorites including Westworld, Mr. Robot
and Orange is the New Black, all of which ranked on our year-end
list in 2016, but were dislodged from our top 10 in 2017,” said
Simanton. “13 Reasons Why charted at No. 2 this year. Fans of the
show also fueled the popularity of two actors on IMDb's list of Top
10 Breakout Stars of 2017: Katherine Langford (No. 5) and Dylan
Minnette (No. 6). Langford was so popular that she not only made it
onto our Breakout Stars list, but she also charted at No. 10 on our
Top 10 Stars of the 2017 list. American Gods (No. 7), The Defenders
(No. 9) and Taboo (No. 10) also made their debut on this year’s
list.”
“As we turn our attention to 2018, it is very revealing to take
a look at the new TV shows our customers are eager to learn more
about,” said Simanton. “The Alienist, based on the international
best-selling book of the same name, starring Dakota Fanning, Daniel
Brühl and Luke Evans, is the 2018 show IMDb’s customers are most
interested in, based on IMDbPro’s authoritative data. IMDb page
views also indicate that fans are excited to welcome the Conner
family back into their homes with the revival of Roseanne. With the
popularity of his show American Gods this year, executive producer
Neil Gaiman’s 2018 TV mini-series Good Omens is tracking high on
fans’ Watchlists, possibly due in part to the recent announcement
that Jon Hamm has joined the cast. With so many new shows
premiering in the New Year, don’t forget to add the series you are
most looking forward to watching to your IMDb Watchlist, and get
notified when they air.”
