South Korean Hit 'Squid Game' Dominates Global Netflix Charts with Season 3 Release
The global phenomenon Squid Game is back and bigger than ever. The South Korean series took the top spot worldwide on Netflix last week, according to the streaming giant's announcement on Wednesday. Season 3 of Squid Game topped Netflix's global rankings from June 23 to June 29, amassing an impressive 60.1 million views. The show, which follows financially desperate contestants competing in deadly games for a massive cash prize, continues to capture the attention of viewers across the world. The series reached No. 1 in 93 countries, including major markets like the United States, Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Its viewership was ten times higher than the second most-watched non-English series, the Spanish drama Olimpo, which tells the story of a group of high-performing young athletes and only garnered 6.9 million views during the same period. Even the most-watched English-language show of the week—The Waterfront, a family drama set in coastal North Carolina—only reached 11.6 million views, falling far short of Squid Game's global impact. According to South Korea's Yonhap News Agency, the series released its final six episodes last Friday, wrapping up what has become one of the most successful and widely recognized shows in Netflix history.
