Netflix’s Squid Game Season 3 shows no signs of slowing down as the hit K-drama continues to reign supreme.
The streaming giant officially released the much-awaited and final season of the dystopian survival thriller on June 27 and created a huge buzz on social media. Not only that, the six-episode TV show has dominated the platform’s global TV chart ever since.
Since the sequel’s debut, Squid Game Season 3 has remained the number one TV show on the platform, clinging to its throne for nine consecutive days, according to FlixPatrol, a company that tracks streaming rankings from over 90 countries.
Besides securing the top spot globally, the Hwang Dong Hyuk-directed series is currently number one in 89 countries as of July 6. These include the United States, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Brazil, Germany and more.
The final season of the hit Korean series set a record-breaking launch after hitting 60.1 million views and 368.4 million hours watched on its first three days, making it the highest number Netflix has ever recorded for any show within its first three days since its debut.

Season 3 centers on Seong Gi Hun’s, played by Lee Jung Jae, pursuit of revenge following his failed rebellion, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with the enigmatic Front Man, portrayed by Lee Byung Hun.
In addition to this intense showdown, several familiar faces return to the series, including Wi Ha Joon, Im Si Wan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Young, Park Sung Hoon, Yang Dong Geun, Kang Ae Shim, Jo Yu Ri and Lee David, among others.
While the Korean chapter of Squid Game reaches its dramatic conclusion, speculation has been mounting about a possible American spin-off, especially after a surprise cameo by a Hollywood A-lister playing a mysterious agent that hinted at future global expansions.
