Giant streaming platform Netflix announced on Wednesday that the second season of Korean series “Squid Game” maintained its position on Netflix’s list of the top 10 non-English TV series for the second consecutive week after its launch.
The series was viewed 58.2 million times in the week ending January 5, ranking first in 91 countries.
In just 11 days since its launch on December 26, the series has reached a record 126.2 million views, making it one of the most-watched works in Netflix history.
It also rose to second place on Netflix’s list of the most popular non-English-language TV shows of all time.
The second season’s enormous popularity also fueled interest in the first season, which rose to second place in the non-English television ratings, attracting 13.6 million viewers during the week.
The first and second seasons of “The Squid Game” ranked first and second, respectively, on Netflix’s list of the most popular non-English programs of all time.
The new season follows champion Ji-hoon (Lee Jung-jae), who abandons his plans to leave for the United States after winning the deadly competition.
Instead, he returned to Korea with the intention of ending these deadly games once and for all.
The second season ends with a thrilling finale, paving the way for the story of “The Squid Game” to unfold in the third season, scheduled for release later this year.
