Squid Game Season 2 was released on Netflix after three years long wait. The series finally arrived on Netflix on December 26, 2024. Audiences have never been happier, and the show has been a historical one since its first episode. It is the number-one show in over ninety countries and to mark its success Netflix has shared some great news.
This new series alone, from Netflix’s perspective, has been watched 68 million times in the first week. This makes it the most-watched show during its premiere week, and it’s now the seventh most popular non-English show on Netflix. Now it’s time to look at some astounding facts in Squid Game Season 2.
Overcoming Records Set By Wednesday
Within three days only, Squid Game Season 2 scenes got more than 68 million views. This is a big deal because this record has officially dethroned the previous most-watched new show, Wednesday, which garnered 50.1 million views.
Although Wednesday remains the most popular English-language show on Netflix with a viewership of 252 million viewers. But when it comes to non-English series, the first season of Squid Game is unbeatable.
Top non-english show on Netflix
In only one week, the second season of Squid Game practically became one of the most viewed non-English show on Netflix. This has yearned it to the seventh place on the list. This means it has been watched more than other hit foreign language shows like Berlin – a prequel to Money Heist, All Of Us Are Dead and Who Killed Sara?
Most-watched show in its first week
It’s not just the most-watched show—Squid Game Season 2 is Netflix’s most-viewed title of any kind in its first week. This is not confined to TV shows but covers movies and live events as well.
