Squid Game Season 3 Breaks Viewership Record for Netflix

The popular survival thriller show “Squid Game” wrapped up its three-season run with a deadly finale, yet its record-breaking success continues. When season 3 premiered on Netflix on June 27, it set an impressive viewership benchmark.

What viewership record did Squid Game Season 3 break?

In its first week, Squid Game 3 (also known as Squid Game Season 3) amassed a total of 60.1 million views, placing it second on Netflix’s weekly Top 10 list. The number one spot was taken by Olympo Season 1, with Squid Game Season 2 coming in at a close second for the June 23-29 viewership rankings. Although the third season has a strong viewer count, it still falls short of the record-breaking 68 million views achieved by the debut of Season 2.

Although Squid Game 3 ranks ninth among the non-English television series on the streamer’s list of most-watched shows globally, it has experienced a drop in viewership compared to other titles. The platform frequently updates this list, with Squid Game’s first season holding the top spot and its second season coming in second. Other notable series on the list include Money Heist Parts 3, 4, and 5; Lupin Parts 1 and 2; La Palma; and Who Killed Sara? Season 1.

The upcoming season chronicles Gi-hun’s (Lee Jung-jae) harrowing journey through the lethal competition once more, driven by his resolve to vanquish these games for good. Additionally, Season 3 welcomed back Lee Byung-hun as Hwang In-ho/the Front Man, Yim Si-wan as Lee Myung-gi, Kang Ha-neul as Kang Dae-ho, Wi Ha-jun as Hwang Jun-ho, and other familiar faces.

Season 3 of Netflix’s top-rated series is about to unfold. Our protagonist, Player 456 (Gi-hun), finds himself in the depths of despair. However, the Squid Game doesn’t care for anyone’s troubles; it continues relentlessly. As a result, Gi-hun must make critical decisions amidst unbearable despair, as he and the remaining players are drawn into more perilous games that challenge everyone’s willpower. With each round, their choices lead to more severe repercussions.
