Squid Game returns to Netflix in all its gory
There has never been a show quite like the Netflix hit, Squid Game. To say that fans of the show are excited for season 2 would be a gross understatement. Not as gross as some of the action you'll see in the show, granted.
The first season of the show debuted on Netflix on September 17th, 2021. It garnered a few views; oh, sorry, make that 2.8 billion hours watched by 330 million viewers overall. The Korean drama easily became the number-one hit of all time for the streaming service. So it's no surprise that Netflix ordered a second season.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk first conceived the story in 2009, but no studio saw its potential. I mean, how could a series about a dystopian society featuring characters mired in absolute financial desperation miss, right? Add that to win, they had to slaughter all 455 of their competitors, and you have the feel-good hit of the decade.
