Netflix’s Korean hit series “Squid Game” has returned with a record-breaking final season, garnering 60.1 million views within just three days of release. According to Netflix data cited by Variety, this marks the highest-ever three-day viewership for a non-English title on the platform’s weekly Top 10 chart.
When "Squid Game" first dropped on Netflix in 2021, it became a viral hit. With its dystopian depiction of desperate, debt-ridden individuals playing twisted versions of childhood games for a life-changing cash prize, the Korean survival drama tapped into something raw. Set against the backdrop of global inequality, pandemic-era despair, and capitalism in overdrive, it was a modern parable disguised as a thriller. The tracksuits, the red light/green light doll, the piggy bank of blood money; everything became instantly iconic. But it was the emotional stakes, the betrayals, the unlikely friendships, and the slow unravelling of one man’s soul that made it unforgettable.
Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for the third and concluding season of its hit Korean drama “Squid Game”, which left fans hanging with a dramatic Season 2 ending. The second and third seasons were filmed consecutively and conceived as a single, continuous storyline.
