By Denise Petski Senior Managing Editor EXCLUSIVE: MTV’s The Challenge: Total Madness‘ Season 35 premiere Wednesday saw its highest ratings in years in two key demos.

The hit athletic competition show, which pits 28 cast members against each other in a quest for a $1 million prize, drew a 1.14 rating in P18-49, its best premiere showing in eight years; and a 1.27 rating in P18-34, the highest in seven years, in Live+SD.

The premiere episode at 8 PM ET saw its biggest lifts in M18-49 (+71%) and M18-34 (+69%), perhaps reflecting a void in sports programming during the COVID-19 pandemic.
