Dynamite secured a 0.28 rating in the 18-49 demographic, finishing seventh on the cable charts, with the same rating as the previous week. The 0.28 rating is tied for the show’s lowest since March 15 and is its fifth-lowest of the year.
While Dynamite’s ratings declined from the previous week in most categories, the show saw an increase in viewership among young women.

Dynamite aired live on the West Coast due to TBS’ coverage of a United States vs. Mexico soccer game, airing head-to-head against the NBA playoffs on TNT and the NHL playoffs on ESPN.
Compared to the same week in 2022, with similar competition but in its regular West Coast time slot, Dynamite’s overall audience was down 10.8 percent, while its 18-49 rating was down 24.3 percent. This marks the 18th straight week the show has seen a year-over-year decline.
