The addition of Jennifer Hudson to NBC’s sophomore drama “Smash” did not help the show’s ratings.

According to the Nielsen ratings, Tuesday’s second-season premiere set series lows with 4.5 million viewers,  That marked a 61% plummet from last February’s series opener, which aired behind “The Voice,” and a 25% from May’s finale, which drew 6 million. Among young adults, the drop was even steeper — 71% and 39%, respectively.
