These shows have captivated millions of viewers and have become some of Netflix's most popular and critically acclaimed series.
While Squid Game season 2 was just released on December 26, 2024, fans are already eager for more. In a recent interview with Variety, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk gave an update on the upcoming season's release. "At this point, anything I say could be a spoiler, so I want to be careful," he shared. "But what I can say is that after season 2 airs, we will be announcing the release date for season 3 soon. I expect it to be sometime in the summer or fall of next year."
It's no surprise that Squid Game has become a global sensation. The first season alone had 2.2 billion hours viewed and 265.2 million views. Stranger Things season 4 also had impressive numbers, with 1.83 billion hours viewed and 140.7 million views. And Wednesday's first season was not far behind, with 1.72 billion hours viewed and 252.1 million views.
Next up on Netflix's lineup is the highly anticipated second season of Squid Game, which was released on Boxing Day (December 26). The series, which is a South Korean dystopian survival thriller, follows a group of desperate people competing in deadly challenges for a chance at a huge sum of money. The second season has been met with rave reviews and has only added to the show's massive success.
In November 2022, Wednesday also premiered on Netflix and quickly became a smash hit. This gothic supernatural drama stars a talented cast, including Jenna Ortega, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christina Ricci, Gwendoline Christie, and Riki Lindhome. The series follows the iconic Wednesday Addams as she navigates her way through a coming-of-age story.
