The second season of The Squid Game continues to rack up incredible views, setting new records on Netflix. After the first four days after its premiere brought in 68 million views - the biggest debut in the platform's history - the season added another 58.2 million views in its first full week, bringing its total to 126.2 million views in 11 days.

Here's What We Know

The second season immediately entered the list of the most popular non-English-language series on Netflix, rising from 7th to 2nd place. Only the first season of The Squid Game surpasses it with 265.2 million views in the first 90 days. However, season 2 has every chance of surpassing this figure, as there are still 80 days left to go.

The series has really become a real phenomenon and success, so now we are waiting for the third season, which is due to be released this year.

In the second season, viewers will meet Song Gi-hoon again, who, after the horrific events of the first season, decides to stop the deadly games by becoming their opponent. Gi-hoon will try to protect the new participants, but he will have to face the Frontman, one of the organisers of the competition, whose goal is to prevent him from completing the game.

This time, the rules are changing: after each round, the participants have to vote for the continuation of the competition, which leads to a split in the group into factions. The new season will also feature new games that are familiar not only to Korean players but also to the international audience. The participants will include not only adults, but also young players, which underlines the relevance of the topic of debt addiction among young people.
