The popularity of the series Squid Game continues to break records in 2024, as it has become the most-watched series in a single week, amassing an impressive total of 4.9 billion minutes of viewing. This remarkable milestone was recorded in the period between December 23 and 29, coinciding with the release of the highly anticipated second season of the series on Netflix.
Squid Game continues to break records
The second season of Squid Game premiered on December 26, 2024, which undoubtedly contributed to this large volume of viewership. This number includes both viewers who caught up with the first season and those who dove into the new episodes immediately after their release. According to Nielsen, this reflects not only the accumulated interest of fans but also the “binge-watching” effect that characterizes streaming platforms.
The cultural phenomenon unleashed by Squid Game responds to its intriguing mix of suspense, drama, and social criticism, elements that have strongly resonated with audiences globally. The series, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, has transcended the borders of South Korea, becoming a pillar of global entertainment.
With the second season already released, it is expected that the interest in the series will remain high, possibly pushing Squid Game to set even more records in the future. The franchise has captured the public’s attention, creating a cultural phenomenon that continues to be a topic of conversation and analysis in the entertainment field.
