"Squid Game" becomes a massive hit

6 October, 2021

Netflix's newest series Squid Game is so far one of the company's most in-demand original series, according to data from Parrot Analytics. Why it matters: Squid Game could soon become the first non-English Netflix series to top its most-watched list. Last week, Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said that the South Korean drama had a "very good chance" of becoming its most popular series ever. Unlike most binge-released series, particularly Netflix Originals, the global audience demand for Squid Game has increased every single day since its debut on Netflix on Sept. 17, according to an analysis from Parrot Analytics.
