Squid Game, a South Korean survival drama television series created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, was officially released on Netflix.
Squid Game became Netflix's most-watched series at the time, reaching over 111 million viewers worldwide in its first 28 days.
Squid Game's popularity sparked global discussions about social inequality and inspired various merchandise, Halloween costumes, and adaptations.
Netflix announced the development of Squid Game Season 2 following the show's massive success.
Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
