With 26.3 million views in the third week of the release of 'Squid Game 2,' viewers can't get enough of the Korean drama. Now, the current number stands at 152.5 million total views, becoming the third-most-watched TV series on Netflix.?

On the other hand, the first season of Squid Game garnered 265 million views and stands in first place, while the series 'Wednesday' stands in second place with 252 million views.

However, 'Wednesday' is also coming with its second season in 2025, so the competition might be tough.?
