Squid Game sets a new record!

Squid Game, which turned into a global phenomenon with its first season released in 2021, achieved great success as Netflix's most-watched series, and this success went far beyond even the highest expectations. For this reason, expectations for the show's second season were quite high. However, the fact that more than three years had passed between the two seasons had raised some questions about the performance of the second season. The initial data showed that these concerns were unfounded, as Squid Game season 2 made a strong start with record-breaking viewership figures.

IT BROKE NETFLIX'S RECORD FOR MOST VIEWS IN A WEEK

The second season of Squid Game, released on December 26, achieved great success by reaching 68 million views in the first three days of its release. The series, which topped Netflix in 92 countries this week, did not settle for just this success and broke Wednesday's record as the production that attracted the most viewers in a single week. The series Wednesday, which was quite popular when it was released, had received 50.1 million views in one week. Squid Game season 2 surpassed this figure, setting a new opening record.

Squid Game season 2 managed to become one of the 10 most-watched non-English series of all time on Netflix in just three days. It is likely that it will be at the top of this list by the end of its first month. In addition, it is expected to enter the top three among all Netflix series, and no one would be surprised if it reaches the top of this ranking. Although the second season has generally received negative reviews, these comments do not seem to have been reflected in the viewership figures.
