With 152.5 million total views, 'Squid Game' Season 2 trails behind only its own first season (265 million) and "Wednesday" (252 million).

If you thought that Squid Game season 2, which set viewing records for its debut, was going to stay on top of Netflix’s top 10 list for weeks and weeks, you’d be wrong. At least that’s true in America where it has just been unseated at #1 by the arrival of WWE Monday Night RAW,

"Squid Game" is described on IMDb as a show in which "hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes: a survival game that has a whopping 45.6 billion-won prize at stake."

This observation brought to you by musing on the streamer’s latest effort to hype up Squid Game 2, the second season of its South Korean murder game import, which Netflix would like you to know an unbelievable number of people have watched.

When the first Squid Game season came out in 2021, it took the world by storm and became, by far, the biggest show to binge on Netflix. It seemed like we couldn't escape from the series, and then Season 2 finally came out in 2024 after a three-year wait. But thankfully, we're not going to be waiting long for Squid Game Season 3 – the final season.

Streaming services rarely take the sensible step of quitting whilst they are ahead. When they find a successful show or film it usually spawns sequel after sequel. Not Netflix.

Do they look familiar? From Park Sung-hoon to Kang Ha-neul, we look at films new Squid Game actors were in before entering the deadly arena.

In just under three weeks, Squid Game Season 2 has become the third most-watched season of television ever on Netflix. The seven-episode installment put up another 26.3M views from January 6 to 12, easily making it the most-watched title of the week.

Squid Game Season 2 becomes Netflix's third most-watched series with 152.5 million views, following its own record-breaking season, Squid Game Season 1, and Wednesday. According to reports, it topped non-English charts for multiple weeks.

Squid Game has become one of the biggest non-English shows ever, continuing to build on the success of its debut season. And if the song 'Round and Round' stuck in our heads is any indication, the show is on its way to creating more milestones.
