Cable openers: The Strain, FX's first Sunday series, opened with a solid 3 million viewers, opposite the second-season opener of Showtime's Masters of Sex (825,000). Showtime's Ray Donovan also returned Sunday with 1.2 million.
'Extant' to 'Sweden.' CBS' astronaut drama Extant, starring Halle Berry, opened Wednesday with 9.6 million viewers, tops for the week but well below last year's Under the Dome premiere. Other starts: NBC's Welcome to Sweden (3.5 million) and Working the Engels (2.7 million, both Thursday); FX's The Bridge (1.5 million Wednesday); History's Ice Road Truckers (1.8 million Monday); and Discovery's American Muscle (556,000 Wednesday).
Soccer final. The World Cup final snared 17.3 million viewers Sunday on ABC, 9.2 million viewers on Univision (a record for a final on U.S. Spanish-language TV) and 5.5 million on ESPN. Combined, the ABC/ESPN numbers made it third-most-watched soccer match in U.S. history (after USA-Portugal and the 1999 women's final).
