Squid Game Season 2 Sets New Global Netflix Record
The second season of Squid Game shattered a major Netflix record the day after Christmas. According to Forbes, it became the first series ever to debut at #1 in all 93 countries where Netflix is available, solidifying its position as a global phenomenon. While it’s still early to determine if the show will surpass the groundbreaking viewership records set by its first season, the momentum suggests it could be another historic achievement for the streaming platform.
Fans have enthusiastically embraced Squid Game Season 2, praising its gripping storyline and intense character arcs. The season’s dramatic cliffhanger left viewers eagerly anticipating what’s next, fueling excitement for future installments. Speculation about a third season is already in full swing, and fans are buzzing with questions about when it might arrive.
According to reports, the show is the first series on Netflix to debut at #1 in all 93 countries where the streaming site is available. This means “Squid Game 2” is the #1 Netflix series in countries like the United States, Malaysia, Honduras and even Oman, just one day after its premiere. News outlets say this is a difficult achievement to bag as not even “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday” have reached such a level of success.
“Squid Game 2” reached a special milestone, but it got mixed reviews when it came out. Many people liked the acting of the new cast members and the storylines of the characters. However, some felt that the second season wasn’t as good as the first one. Despite these mixed opinions, Squid Game season 3 is already set to be released in 2025.
In an interview with Variety, series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk hinted that Season 3 could come sooner than expected. “At this point, anything I might say is going to be a spoiler, so I want to be cautious,” he explained. “But what I can share is that after the release of Season 2, we’ll likely announce the launch date for Season 3 soon. I anticipate it will be ready by summer or fall next year.”
