The high numbers for So You Think You Can Dance Canada went even higher on Sunday as Montreal’s Nico Archambault was crowned the winner of CTV’s latest homegrown hit.

The two-hour season finale nabbed 1.6 million viewers, peaking at nearly two million when the winner was revealed. (All numbers 2+.)

Dance Canada premiered in September to 1.2 million and gained popularity, especially with female viewers, who accounted for 70% of the total audience. Performance episodes averaged 1.4 million viewers, likely helped by a big push from CTV.

‘So You Think You Can Dance Canada‘s success is a testament to the creativity and excellence of the entire production team, cast and choreographers. Congratulations to Nico and all of the dancers who taught us the language of dance has no boundaries,’ commented CTV programming boss Susanne Boyce in a release.

Meanwhile, the show’s top 10 finalists are embarking on a 15-city Canadian tour, getting underway Jan. 30, which will include performances from the first season.

The show is a spin-off from the U.S. version, which debuted in 2005, and has since sparked similar versions in countries such as New Zealand, Turkey, Israel and Greece.
