New ABC series Whiskey Cavalier aired a sneak peek after the Oscars on Sunday, bringing in 4.17 million total viewers.
Last year, ABC debuted The Alec Baldwin Show after the 90th annual Academy Awards. That received 3.65 million, which means “Whiskey Cavalier” did 14 percent better.
Whiskey Cavalier previewed to a 0.8 rating among adults 18-49. The Alec Baldwin Show, which had a later start time due to a longer lead-in Oscars, got a 0.7 in the key demo.
Whiskey Cavalier preview episode, which debuted well after primetime ended, is technically not the series premiere because of its very late time slot. The spy series will air the same episode on Wednesday.
Whiskey Cavalier follows an FBI agent (Scott Foley) and his CIA operative partner (Lauren Cohan). Together, they embark on missions to save the world — but they have to put up with each other first.
