Squid Game 3 Breaks a Mind-Blowing Netflix Record

by

In just 10 days since its debut on June 27th, the third season of “Squid Game” has broken a significant viewership record on Netflix, racking up an astonishing 106.3 million views. This extraordinary launch for “Squid Game 3” now holds the title as the most-watched Netflix series within this timeframe, solidifying the series’ status as a worldwide television sensation. The final chapter of the series offers a concluding act for Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, after his return to the competition following an unsuccessful rebellion in season 2. Despite being controversial, “Squid Game”‘s grim finale reinforces its unflinching critique of capitalism and social inequality, bringing a definitive end to its main narrative.

The third installment of “Squid Game” has made a strong entrance, ranking it as the third most popular non-English TV series on Netflix ever. This puts the entire “Squid Game” franchise at the top of Netflix’s all-time viewership chart, with the original season leading with an impressive 265.2 million views and the second season in second place with 192.6 million views. Although the record set by the first season is a tough act to follow, “Squid Game 3” has the potential to keep rising in the ranks. Netflix calculates viewership for its Most Popular list over a 91-day period, providing plenty of time for the final season to exceed the 192.6 million views of the previous season and claim the second all-time spot.

The debut of Squid Game 3 sparked an impressive increase in viewership for the previous seasons, pushing them back onto the weekly Top 10 list as viewers eagerly awaited the finale, demonstrating the ongoing worthiness of this show to the streaming platform. Moreover, the conclusion of the original Korean storyline has paved the way for Netflix’s upcoming phase of the franchise – a highly anticipated American series from renowned director David Fincher.

Squid Game 3 Sets Up David Fincher’s Rumored US Series

For quite some time now, there’s been a great deal of buzz surrounding an American adaptation of “Squid Game,” which has been one of Netflix’s most anticipated projects. Even before the Korean original came to an end, whispers about this new series were already circulating. As recently reported, Netflix considered this project as a top priority, with renowned director David Fincher set to lead the series. However, there have been whispers of creative disagreements between Fincher and Netflix executives regarding certain aspects, such as the official title for the American version. Throughout this speculation and development phase, the franchise’s original creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has repeatedly stated that he wouldn’t be participating in any U.S.-based production, asserting that his tale was complete with the original series.

Attention: Major plot revelations for Squid Game Season 3! The final episode of Squid Game Season 3 strongly hints at an upcoming American series. In the closing scenes, renowned actress Cate Blanchett makes a notable appearance as a high-ranking recruiter for the games, scouting potential players in Los Angeles. This scene suggests that the forthcoming Fincher-directed production is either a sequel or an extension of the original storyline rather than a remake. The cameo thus raises some intriguing questions about the Squid Game universe. However, it also indicates that the upcoming series will focus on fresh narratives and characters, enriching the franchise’s mythology instead of rehashing old stories.

All three seasons of Squid Game are now streaming on Netflix.
