Squid Game season two has set a new Netflix record with 68 million views in just four days since its release on December 26
Seoul: So, did you hear about Squid Game season two? It just dropped on Netflix and wow, it’s already a hit! In just four days, it racked up 68 million views. That’s a new record for Netflix, beating out Wednesday, which had 50.1 million views when it launched last year.
The new season kicked off on December 26, and it’s all about those intense games again. You know, the ones where players risk it all for a life-changing prize? Lee Jung-jae is back as Seong Gi-hun, and he’s determined to take down the games for good this time.
Remember how the first season broke records too? It’s been viewed over 265 million times, making it Netflix’s most popular non-English show. Crazy, right?
Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator, hinted that we might not have to wait long for season three. He mentioned that after season two, they’ll probably announce the release date for the next one, aiming for summer or fall next year.
He had a lot planned for season two, originally thinking it would be about eight to nine episodes. But once he finished writing, it turned into over ten! He wanted to make sure there was enough closure before moving on to the next season.
Hwang also talked about the tough journey for Gi-hun. The climax hits hard with the death of his best friend, which really adds to the emotional weight of the story. It’s all about Gi-hun dealing with guilt and failure, setting the stage for what’s next.
