Streaming Ratings: ’Squid Game’ Final Season Sets Three-Day Record on Netflix Charts

It’s no surprise that the final season of Squid Game attracted a huge worldwide audience — it’s the biggest show Netflix has ever hosted, after all — but the scale of the Korean hit continues to impress.

The third and final season of the series amassed 60.1 million views worldwide from June 27-29, the largest three-day tally Netflix has ever recorded in its internal rankings. Season two, which premiered on Dec. 26, 2024, had a higher opening-week total of 68 million views, but those came over four days. Both seasons made Netflix’s all-time top 10 for non-English language shows in their first week, the only times that has happened on either the English or non-English series charts.

Squid Game ranked No. 1 for the week of June 23-29 in every country that Netflix tracks, also a first for one of the streamer’s shows. The final season sees Player 456/Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) make a final attempt to bring down the deadly game from within — while also hinting in its last scene that the games are global in scope.

More to come.
