How Big Was the Season 3 Premiere?

The third and final season of Squid Game has crushed global streaming records—again. According to Netflix, Squid Game season 3 drew 60.1 million views in its first three days, making it the most-watched title globally for the week of June 23–29. That’s nearly 10 times more than its nearest competitor, the Spanish series Olympo.

In an unprecedented feat, Squid Game ranked No. 1 in all 93 countries where Netflix publishes its Top 10 list, becoming the first show ever to do so in its debut week.

“It’s a landmark moment not just for South Korean entertainment, but for global streaming,” said a Netflix spokesperson in the official release.

Why Is Everyone Watching Again?

The release of Season 3 sparked a surge in interest for the entire series. Both previous seasons re-entered Netflix’s top 10:

• Season 2 ranked No. 3
• Season 1 ranked No. 6

The phenomenon, originally launched in 2021, introduced viewers to protagonist Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a down-on-his-luck gambler forced into a brutal survival competition inspired by Korean children’s games. The show’s mix of dystopian drama, social commentary, and high-stakes suspense made it a global hit.
