Netflix has released new data for its global smash hit “Squid Game” — showing it as No. 1 with a bullet.
“Squid Game” pulled in a staggering 1.65 billion hours of viewing in 28 days following its Sept. 17 premiere, according to Netflix. That’s equivalent to more than 182,000 years in total.
The overall viewing of the ultra-violent Korean drama in the first month is 2.6 times that of Netflix’s next biggest show, Shonda Rhimes’ “Bridgerton” Season 1, which generated 625 million hours over its first 28 days of release.
Netflix released the new all-time TV show rankings Tuesday, for both English and non-English titles, as part of announcing its expanded weekly Top 10 lists that are based on aggregate viewing hours of members — a flex move to regularly tout its most-popular originals. The company said it will maintain a regularly updated list of all-time most-viewed TV shows and films on its new top10.netflix.com site.
