With 152.5 million total views, the second installment of “Squid Game” has become the third most-watched TV season on Netflix, trailing behind only its own first season (265 million) and “Wednesday” (252 million).
Four days after its Dec. 26 premiere, “Squid Game” Season 2 had amassed 68 million views in four days, becoming Netflix’s biggest TV debut ever. A week later, it had picked up 126.2 million views across 11 days, more than any Netflix series has ever achieved in that amount of time. Suffice to say, the Korean-language deathmatch drama spent another week atop the non-English TV top 10 list, with Season 1 resurfacing at No. 3.
On the English-language chart, Harlan Coben’s limited series “Missing You” took the No. 1 spot with 15.2 million views during the week of Jan. 6. It’s followed by the historical drama “American Primeval,” which nabbed 10.4 million views, and the Jerry Springer docuseries “Fights, Camera, Action” at 7.7 million. Other entries: the debut of “WWE Raw” at No. 4, Gabriel Iglesias’ latest comedy special “Legend of Fluffy” at No. 7 and the Keira Knightley spy thriller “Black Doves” at No. 8.

Netflix’s airport-set thriller film “Carry-On,” which debuted Dec. 13, logged another 7.2 million views and held onto the English films list at No. 2, behind 2019’s “The Secret Life of Pets 2” in the top slot. Per usual, kids’ content reigns supreme on the film chart, with “The Secret Life of Pets,” two “Despicable Me” movies and “Sonic the Hedgehog” also securing spots.
