Squid Game season 2 has helped the series reach an impressive Netflix milestone only Wednesday has achieved. The Emmy-winning series follows Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he, along with other cash-strapped people, play a series of games for money with their lives on the line. In season 2, Gi-hun aimed to topple those in charge and end the games. While it didn’t rate as well as its predecessor, Squid Game season 2 was still a cultural phenomenon with high ratings and viewership from the audience.
As reported by Variety, during its first full week of availability, from Dec. 30 to Jan. 5, Squid Game season 2 has clocked in 4.6 billion minutes watched on Netflix. This is a drop from the 4.9 billion minutes watched the week before, which included the new season’s weekend debut, but the achievement is still impressive, something only achieved by season 1 and Wednesday since 2022. For clarity, Nielsen does combine the viewership of all seasons of a series into one title, but the site says that season 2 contributed to 80% of that total for the aforementioned week.
