Squid Game season 3 breaks viewership records for Netflix
Record 60 million watch hit Netflix show
- The third and final season of Netflix's Squid Game racked up over 60 million views within its first three days of release.
- The South Korean dystopian thriller ranked as the No. 1 show in 93 countries and accumulated 368.4 million hours of watch time since its 27 June release.
- The series remains Netflix's most-watched original title of all time, with its first and second seasons holding the top two spots for non-English language TV shows.
- Series creator Hwang Dong Hyuk said the third season's ending, which included a global recruitment scene and a Cate Blanchett cameo, was intended to make a broader point about the enduring nature of capitalism, not to set up future spin-offs.
- However, rumours persist about a potential US-set adaptation or spin-off, with speculation linking director David Fincher to such a project.
