I Am Cait Premiere Draws 2.73 Million Viewers

On par with Kardashians, but a big drop from Diane Sawyer interview

Sunday's premiere of I Am Cait delivered solid ratings for E!, although the numbers are a big drop from Caitlyn Jenner's other major high-profile TV appearances.

The moving E! docuseries, which chronicles Jenner's new life after recently transitioning from male to female, drew an average of 2.73 million viewers in live-plus-same-day ratings, according to Nielsen. That includes 1.5 million viewers in the 18-49 demographic.

That number almost exactly matches the number of Jenner's Twitter followers—2.74 million—and is on par with May's Keeping Up With the Kardashians: About Bruce two-part special where Jenner, who was then still known as Bruce, discussed his transition on E! for the first time.
