Additionally, the network's newest original became 2018's #1 cable comedy show among all cable comedies this year, reaching a multiplatform audience of more than 42 million viewers across TBS' linear, digital, mobile and on-demand platforms. In the backdrop of both its audience and critical acclaim and ongoing ratings success, the network also quietly won big with The Last O.G., by pioneering a new direct-to-consumer marketing model with 'social good' driven initiatives.
