Squid Game Finale Breaks Records, Main Character Dies

The third and final season of Netflix's 'Squid Game' set records with 106.3 million global views in its first 10 days, becoming the first show to top the charts in all 93 countries where Netflix tracks a Top 10. Despite mixed and even negative reviews, with season three receiving the lowest audience scores of the series, all three seasons now occupy the top three spots on Netflix's global non-English show chart. The finale concluded major storylines, including the death of central character Seong Gi-hun. Speculation about a possible American spinoff, potentially directed by David Fincher, persists after a cryptic ending set in Los Angeles, but Netflix and the creator have denied any official plans. The show's success has increased interest in similar series like 'Alice in Borderland,' which will end with its third season in 2025. 'Squid Game' has significantly boosted Netflix's viewership and stock, highlighting South Korean media's global impact.
