Netflix’s global phenomenon ‘Squid Game’ has returned with a thunderous finale, clocking an astonishing 60.1 million views in just three days since its release on June 27. The series, which redefined global entertainment with its 2021 debut, continues to break new ground in its third and final season, reaffirming its place as a cultural and streaming juggernaut.
According to a report by Netflix’s newsroom, the latest season soared to the top of the Netflix Global Top 10 and secured the ninth position on the platform’s Most Popular Non-English TV list. It became the first series ever to rank #1 in all 93 countries with Netflix Top 10 lists during its premiere week—setting a new record for views within the first three days of a show’s release. With Season 2 and now Season 3 both hitting these milestones, Squid Game remains unmatched in consistency and reach across seasons.
In terms of digital engagement, Season 3 has already garnered over 4.56 billion impressions on Netflix’s global social channels—making it the most engaging campaign in the platform’s history. On TikTok, a clip from the iconic “Red-Light, Green-Light” game racked up over 128 million organic views, becoming the most-watched Netflix video on the platform. Additionally, the mobile game Squid Game: Unleashed became the #1 Free Action Game in 107 countries on App Store charts shortly after launch.
Fan engagement reached new heights with immersive global activations. From New York’s Domino Park to Seoul’s grand finale event on June 28, over 273,000 fans attended live events while 10 million more participated online. The Seoul celebration, attended by more than 38,000 fans, featured major cast appearances and a parade showcasing the show’s iconic elements. The traveling immersive attraction Squid Game: The Experience, now running in five major cities, has seen sell-out crowds and is projected to attract over half a million visitors by summer’s end.
The show’s cultural influence continues to grow, with a sharp rise in interest in Korean content, language learning, and merchandise trends. Through innovative campaigns and global collaborations, ‘Squid Game’ has transformed from a gripping drama into a worldwide entertainment brand with lasting impact.
