The hit show Squid Game has proven to be a tremendous success for Netflix. With the remarkable achievement of its debut season, the series was given the go-ahead for Season 2. And when it aired, it attracted a significant audience, ultimately becoming one of the most popular shows on the streaming platform.
Squid Game 2 only falls behind Season 1 and Wednesday in Netflix viewership
In a span of four days following its release on Netflix on December 26, 2024, Squid Game Season 2 amassed over 68 million views, breaking records to become the platform’s biggest opening season ever. As of now, the series has accumulated a total of 152.5 million views, placing it third in Netflix’s all-time most-watched seasons list, trailing behind Squid Game Season 1 (265 million) and Wednesday (252 million). Also gracing the top five are Stranger Things Season 4 (140.7 million) and DAHMER: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (115.6 million).
The incredible viewership figures for both seasons clearly demonstrate the show’s popularity with Netflix viewers. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk worked tirelessly for more than a decade to bring Squid Game to life before Netflix got involved. The series debuted on September 17, 2021, and quickly transformed into the cultural sensation it is today.
The show Squid Game primarily centers on Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a man struggling with a gambling problem and being a father to a child, who finds himself in dire financial straits in the first season. To alleviate his money troubles, he decides to join an enigmatic game, only to realize its shockingly violent and ruthless nature. Despite emerging victorious, he is deeply disturbed by the loss of life among his fellow competitors. In the second season, he re-enters the game with the intention of exacting revenge.
Ever since its debut, Season 2 has consistently ranked among the highest-positioned TV series on Netflix’s U.S. chart. It has been confirmed that the show will conclude with a final season. According to recent rumors, this final season might be released as early as June 27, 2025.
