Squid Game is a bonafide hit for Netflix.<\/p>\n

Just weeks after the streamer said the popular series<\/a> was in line for a massive launch, they have dropped some numbers to give a better indication of how the show has been performing.<\/p>\n

Squid Game has reached 111 million Netflix accounts less than a month after its release, but there is always a great deal of skepticism regarding streaming numbers.<\/p>\n

\n \"Squid<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Netflix, in particular, counts two minutes of any program as a view, meaning that we don’t know how many people watched an entire episode or season.<\/p>\n

Streaming services have been keeping the more coveted data in the dark, and as a result, the numbers can only be described as arbitrary.<\/p>\n

Still, we do have some numbers to compare. The streamer previously said Bridgerton managed 82 million viewers in its first four weeks following its launch in December.<\/p>\n

\n \"Squid<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

The romantic drama has since landed a three-season renewal, as well as an order for a spinoff, so it shows that particular show must have had a large footprint.<\/p>\n

As for Squid Game, it became the first Korean original series to top the Top 10 popularity chart on the streamer.<\/p>\n

It has taken over the world of pop culture, with sales of clothing worn on the series surging and selling out.<\/p>\n

With Halloween just a few weeks away, it seems people are getting their costumes sorted early, so don’t be shocked to see many people wearing the same thing.<\/p>\n

\n \"Squid<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

Even before the official numbers dropped, it was on track to become the biggest Non-English launch in the streamer’s history, with it being set to best Money Heist and Elite.<\/p>\n

With Bridgerton being knocked down to second place, you might be wondering what comes next on the list:<\/p>\n

– Lupin (76 million)<\/p>\n

– The Witcher (76 million)<\/p>\n

– Sex\/Life (67 million)<\/p>\n

– Stranger Things Season 3 (67 million)<\/p>\n

\n \"Not<\/img>\n<\/div>\n

The Stranger Things number was from back when the streamer was using the old metric of declaring shows a success.<\/p>\n

The new metric boosts shows by around 35%, so the 1980s-set supernatural drama would probably be much higher up that list.<\/p>\n

Okay, TV Fanatics!<\/p>\n
