Squid Game is making history again — and this time, it's even bigger. Season 3 of the hit Netflix series has officially taken over the world, topping Netflix’s Global Top 10 list in 93 countries for two weeks in a row, and breaking records along the way.
According to Netflix’s official Top 10 data (via Tudum) on July 9, Squid Game Season 3 racked up an incredible 106.3 million views just 10 days after its release. Between June 30 and July 6 alone, it pulled in 46.3 million views, staying firmly at the #1 spot globally.
This makes Squid Game the first series in Netflix history to have all three of its seasons take the #1 spot in every tracked country for two straight weeks. That’s right — all three seasons now rank as the top 3 most-watched non-English Netflix shows of all time. Season 3 is currently in 3rd place on that list, behind its own previous seasons, making it a clean sweep for the franchise.
As Squid Game Season 3 explodes in popularity, Seasons 1 and 2 are also making a strong comeback. On the same weekly chart, Season 1 ranked 3rd with 3.8 million views, while Season 2 placed 2nd with 4.9 million views — showing that viewers old and new are diving back into the entire saga.
Season 3 continues the story of Gi Hun, who returns to the brutal games with a personal mission — only to face devastating loss. The season also reveals the fate of the mysterious Front Man and dives deep into the emotional struggles of the game’s survivors. With even more intense games and sharp social commentary, fans say this is the series’ boldest season yet.
One standout moment is the now-viral “Jump Rope” episode, which critics are calling “one of the most outstanding episodes in the entire series.” The global buzz is still going strong, and overseas media are full of praise:
- La Cuarta: “The ending carries both meaning and courage… the story is bold and never loses focus.”
- Le Parisien: “It shows the darkest sides of human greed and friendship. It goes even deeper this time.”
- Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung: “A brilliant satire of capitalism. A turning point for the whole series.”
- Rotten Tomatoes (Korey*): “The most brutal season yet. It digs into the darkest parts of human nature.”
- Rotten Tomatoes (Abhi*): “A powerful ending about greed, inequality, and capitalism. A perfect finale.”
With the entire Squid Game trilogy now dominating global Netflix charts, there’s no doubt — this franchise isn’t just a show anymore. It’s a worldwide phenomenon.
Squid Game Season 3 is now streaming exclusively on Netflix.
