Squid Game Season 3 Sets Netflix Record With 60.1 Million Views In First 3 Days

Humans are... still watching Squid Game.

Season 3 of the Korean thriller generated 60.1 million views in the first three days since its release, marking a new Netflix record.

Squid Game Season 3 thus shot straight to the top of the Netflix Global Top 10 ranking, while landing on the streamer's Most Popular Non-English TV List at No. 9.

(Netflix rightly defines a "view" as "total minutes viewed divided by total run time.")

The final, six-episode season also ranked No. 1 in each and every one of the 93 countries where Netflix maintains Top 10 lists — the first time any show has ever pulled that off in its debut week.

TVLine readers gave Season 3 an average grade of "B-," while the series finale netted a "C+."

As people presumably played catch-up, Squid Game Seasons 1 and 2 also made the Netflix Global Top 10 this week. Heading into Season 3's launch on June 27, Squid Game's first two seasons had amassed nearly 600 million views, with Season 1 topping the Non-English TV ranking with 265,200,000 views.
