Green light! Squid Game Season 2 ranks as the third most-watched show on Netflix with 152.5 million views

Is it a green light or a red light for Squid Game 2? The series became the third most-watched TV season on Netflix, garnering 152.5 million total views. The Korean drama has already ranked in overall impressive numbers, with high anticipations of the Season 3 premiere later this year, which is expected to be Netflix's biggest show ever.

Premiered on December 26, the second season of 'Squid Game' has reported 68 million views after four days of its release, becoming Netflix's biggest TV debut ever. On the other hand, Carry-On no longer holds the top position in English film on the streaming platform.

Squid Game 2, the third most-watched series on Netflix

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. Well, if we see the number count and if the audience continues to catch up with the show this year too, the numbers of the show will be tremendous.

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