The Pillars of the Earth, the groundbreaking eight-hour series based on Ken Follett´s worldwide bestseller, adapted for television by John Pielmeier and directed by Sergio
Mimica-Gezzan, was seen by an average of 6.8 million viewers per night during its run on Germany's SAT.1.
Pillars maintained a steady audience, demonstrating its strength across a wide demographic and delivering impressive numbers. The series produced an average market share of 25.3 % in the key demo (14-49 years).
"Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth was a big step for SAT.1 and is certainly one of the greatest TV-events of 2010. We are really glad to be continuing the brilliant collaboration with Tandem Communications and Scott Free for the follow-up project World Without End", says Andreas Bartl, Chief German Free-TV Officer, Member of the Executive Board ProSiebenSat.1 Media AG.
