Just two days after its release on December 26, Season 2 of Squid Game has already matched the explosive success of its predecessor. Despite mixed reactions from viewers to the highly anticipated continuation, the numbers speak for themselves: Squid Game has claimed the #1 spot in all 93 countries tracked by Netflix, making it the first show on the platform to achieve this milestone.
The new season continues the story of Gi-hun, the original protagonist, who returns to the deadly survival game with a new mission. After abandoning his plan to move to the United States, Gi-hun chooses instead to confront the sinister forces behind the game, joining a fresh group of participants in their life-or-death struggle.
Although critics have offered a range of opinions on the new season, Squid Game’s ability to dominate global charts for a second time underscores its enduring appeal, suspenseful storytelling, and high production value.
Fans of the series can also look forward to Season 3, which was filmed alongside Season 2 and is scheduled for release in 2025.
