More about Squid Game season 2, its popularity, and more

The second season of Squid Game, released on December 26, 2024, has captivated audiences worldwide. Despite the enormous expectations set by the success of the first season, the latest installment has managed to break new records for Netflix.

Within its debut week, Squid Game season 2 received a whopping 68 million views, surpassing the previous record of 50.1 million set by Wednesday. Moreover, it became the first Netflix series to claim the #1 spot in 92 regions upon its release.

This impressive performance has propelled Squid Game season 2 into the ranks of Netflix's most popular non-English series. With its buzz around the internet, the series is expected to climb even higher, possibly challenging the first season’s milestone of 265.2 million views.

Squid Game season 2 goes deeper into the dark, twisted world of the deadly games. Picking up after Gi-hun's victory in the first season, the sequel follows his return—not as a competitor seeking the cash prize but as someone determined to dismantle the sinister organization behind the games.

Despite his prior experience, the season showcases Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) facing betrayal, heartbreak, and devastating losses, as alliances crumble and the stakes rise. The season's finale leaves viewers on edge, with only a few survivors setting the stage for the next chapter.
