The Walking Dead leads the most pirated TV shows of 2018

January 2, 2019 by Gary Collinson

Having topped the list of the most pirated TV shows for the past six years, HBO’s Game of Thrones took a year out in 2018, allowing perennial runner-up The Walking Dead to top the list of the most illegally-downloaded shows.

Ratings may be dwindling on TV, but AMC’s zombie drama remains hugely popular when it comes to BitTorrent downloads, topping the list for 2018 ahead of The CW’s DC superhero show The Flash.

New entries in the chart this year include DC Universe’s Titans, The CW’s Supernatural and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, and HBO’s Westworld. Here’s the top ten courtesy of Torrent Freak:

1. The Walking Dead
2. The Flash
3. The Big Bang Theory
4. Vikings
5. Titans
6. Arrow
7. Supernatural
8. Westworld
9. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow
10. Suits

Expect Game of Thrones regain the unwanted crown this time next year, with the eighth and final season of the epic fantasy series set to get underway this coming April.
