Squid Game Season 2 had some big shoes to fill when it arrived, given just how wildly successful the Emmy-winning first season was. And although the sophomore run on Netflix was a fun one, the format change was frustrating. Specifically, that it took us so long to get in the games, and how few games actually happened through the second season.

It was unclear whether or not Squid Game season 2 would be able to match the unbelievable viewership of the original, but it already broken one record for Netflix

As expected, the second installation of “ Squid Game ” has been an immediate and massive success. Season 2 debuted with 68 million views in its first four days of availability — more than any other Netflix series has achieved in its premiere week, beating a record that “Wednesday” set with 50.1 million views in 2022.

It seemed like we couldn't escape from the series, and then Season 2 finally came out in 2024 after a three-year wait. But thankfully, we're not going to be waiting long for Squid Game Season 3 – the final season.

Squid Game, the dystopian series that shattered records on Netflix, is gearing up for its third and final season. However, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk isn't ruling out the possibility of expanding the universe with spin-off projects.
