New Delhi: Ever since its digital premiere, the second season of Squid Game dominated Netflix. The South Korean survival thriller became a sensation among OTT lovers, all thanks to its gripping storyline and compelling performances by the star cast. It not only set viewership records but also reigned supreme on the streaming giant’s top 10 list. However, the tables have turned with the arrival of a new contender. No, we are not kidding.
According to an indiatvnews.com report, the debut of Monday Night RAW on Netflix has dethroned Squid Game season 2. The media outlet further states that the debut episode of RAW has claimed the top spot in the list of Top 10 shows in the US region. Now, it will be really interesting to see how long the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) series can hold its lead in the rankings.
The second installment of the blockbuster web series premiered on Netflix on December 26, 2024. It garnered mostly positive reviews from critics upon its release.
Created by Korean television producer and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show recieved millions of views within its first three days, solidifying its status as an OTT success. Squid Game 2 stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-joon, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-wook, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim and Jo Yu-ri in pivotal roles.
Its storyline revolves around the key character Seong Gi-hun, who returns to the deadly competition after winning the Squid Game. This time, he aims to end the game once and for all. Squid Game Season 3 is expected to be released later in 2025.
