The group said in a statement that the show, a British psychological thriller, helped Sky to report its highest customer growth in the UK in over a decade.
"By continuing the strong operating momentum of the first half, we have grown revenues by 5% and operating profit by 20% over the nine months," said Jeremy Darroch, Group Chief Executive, at Sky in a statement.
"The UK and Ireland delivered a stand-out performance, reporting both the highest customer growth and lowest churn for eleven years.

"As these results demonstrate, our teams are working well together right across the new Sky. Five months in, our integration plans are progressing well and we are well positioned for the expanded growth opportunity ahead."
