Netflix's Squid Game season two breaks huge record within just 11 days of release
Netflix fans haven't been able to get enough of Squid Game season two and now the hit show has broken a huge new record. The second instalment has amassed a huge 126.2 million views since it released on December 26, more than any Netflix series has ever achieved in that amount of time.
It topped Netflix's charts with the biggest debut ever with 68 million views in four days and picked up a further 58.2 million views in its first full week.
Upon release, it entered the list of most popular non-English language series but has now gone from number seven to number two, only being beaten by season one of the hit show.
With plenty of time to beat the record set by the first series, season two will no doubt hit the number one spot in no time. The second season picked up three-years after Gi-hun (Lee Jung-Jae) won Squid Game and gave up going to the US.
Instead he returned with a new resolution in mind as he dived into the survival game once again with new participants trying to win the huge cash prize.
