Squid Game Season 2 Breaks Records but Loses Netflix Top Spot to WWE Monday Night RAW

The hit Korean series achieves 126.2 million views in 11 days, becoming Netflix's second most-watched non-English show, as WWE's debut episode claims the U.S. top spot.

Squid Game Season 2 amassed 126.2 million views in just 11 days, making it Netflix's second most-watched non-English series, behind its first season.
The series is on track to surpass the record set by Squid Game Season 1, which achieved 265.2 million views in 91 days, with 80 days remaining in its eligibility window.
Despite its global success, Squid Game Season 2 was dethroned in the U.S. by WWE Monday Night RAW, which debuted on Netflix with a star-studded, three-hour-long episode as part of a $5 billion deal.
Squid Game Season 3, which is expected to conclude the series, is slated for release in June 2025, according to Netflix's confirmed plans.
The show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has been praised for ending the series after three seasons to avoid repetitive storytelling and maintain its narrative impact.
