Audience record for season 2 of Squid Game on Netflix

The new part does better than season 1 of Wednesday in 2022.

The phenomenon is still as strong as ever. Waited for three years, season 2 Squid Game is already a huge hit on Netflix. Historical itself.

Launched on December 26, this season 2 began with 68 million views during its first four days of availability (487 million hours streamed in total for the moment), the streamer announced this week. Which allows Squid Game 2 to achieve the best start in Netflix history, doing better than any other Netflix series in its first week. The morbid South Korean thriller thus beats the record established by Wednesday and its 50.1 million views in 2022.

Even stronger, after only a few days of broadcast, season 2 of Squid Game is already in 7th place among the most popular non-English titles of all time. A ranking measured over the first 91 days of audience for each series and dominated by season 1 of Squid Gamewhich currently sits at the top of this list with 265.2 million views. Obviously, season 2 has plenty of time to do even better.

Note also that this season 1 of Squid Game rose this week to third place in the Top Netflix of the moment, since 8 million subscriber households decided to watch the first part again before watching the second.
