Netflix's most successful non-English TV series, Squid Game Season 2, introduced fans to a whole new set of characters while also featuring the key figures from Season 1.

Squid Game Season 2 had some big shoes to fill when it arrived, given just how wildly successful the Emmy-winning first season was. And although the sophomore run on Netflix was a fun one, the format change was frustrating.

With 152.5 million total views, 'Squid Game' Season 2 trails behind only its own first season (265 million) and "Wednesday" (252 million).

Within four days of its December 26 debut, Squid Game Season 2 garnered 68 million views, making it Netflix’s biggest TV launch ever. By day 11, the series had soared to 126.2 million views, setting a new record for the most views any Netflix show has achieved in that timeframe.
