Of course, this does make sense. Squid Game has an overall critic’s rating of 95% on review aggregating website Rotten Tomatoes, with a second season confirmed by Netflix to be in the works now.The drama was so popular, in fact, that it inspired its own competition reality show, Squid Game: The Challenge, which, despite being a little more divisive, is also set to have a second season.Squid Game is the most popular original show in Netflix’s historyOther shows to have made the cut include Fool Me Once, The Queen’s Gambit and The Night Agent.Check out the full list of Netflix’s 10 most popular shows ever below… Squid Game: Season 1 – 265,200,000 viewsWednesday: Season 1 – 252,100,000 viewsStranger Things 4 – 140,700,000 viewsDAHMER: Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story – 115,600,000 viewsBridgerton: Season 1 – 113,300,000 viewsThe Queen’s Gambit – 112,800,000 viewsThe Night Agent: Season 1 – 98,200,000 viewsFool Me Once – 98,200,000 viewsStranger Things 3 – 94,800,000 viewsBridgerton: Season 2 – 93,800,000 viewsThese new stats were released by Netflix on 30 June.
