Do you know in how many countries Squid Game debuted as #1?
93.
Yeah, crazy as it may sound. But this impossible feat has been achieved.
Squid Game Season 2 is already breaking records. The show, which became a global sensation with its first season, has now made history by debuting at No. 1 in all 93 countries where Netflix is available. From the United States to India and beyond, audiences everywhere are hooked.
Season 1 became Netflix’s most-watched series ever, but Season 2’s success is even more remarkable. Unlike its predecessor, which took weeks to gain global popularity, the new season hit the top spot instantly. It has even outperformed other Netflix hits like Stranger Things and Wednesday, making it one of the platform’s biggest shows ever.
Although Netflix hasn’t released the official viewership numbers for Season 2, the signs are promising. For comparison, Season 1 was watched for an incredible 2.2 billion hours and reached 265.2 million accounts. Season 2 has fewer episodes—seven compared to the first season’s nine—so it might not surpass the total viewing hours of Season 1, but fans are confident it will still be a massive hit.
Squid Game Season 2 will still be a mammoth hit and there is no stopping over there. If we forget the watch hours part, then it may surpass the first season easily in terms of views.
