Netflix’s most famed original series “Squid Game” will be returning for a second season. Despite the huge drop in its number of subscribers, the streaming company continues to try to get back in the game. Renewing the most-watched series of 2021 is one way to do that.
@nytimes tweeted the Co-CEO of Netflix’s hopeful stance:
After winning the pandemic, Netflix now finds itself in its own version of its survival drama “Squid Game.” It lost $54 billion on a single bad stock-market day in April. But co-CEO Ted Sarandos says he — and the company he helped build — will survive. https://t.co/bPJ5rReNz7

The executive producer, director, and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk wrote a letter that was posted on Netflix’s website. He teased the viewers by saying, “Join us once more for a whole new round,” mentioning Gi-hun’s return, and how the audiences can also look forward to meeting Cheol-su, who’s supposedly the “boyfriend” of the huge animatronic doll Young-hee. The doll which played a very vital role in the game Red Light, Green Light.

Bucket Studio Co. has a share in the agency that represents Squid Game’s leading actor Lee Jung-jae and it went up nearly 24% in Seoul, South Korea on Monday during a broader sell-off in Asian stocks.
Squid Game features the story of a group of indebted people who have to literally fight through a series of deadlier versions of children’s games to make it out alive with a huge winning prize while super-rich VIPs in masks have fun watching them. This K-Drama series turned out to be Netflix’s biggest launch.
Squid Game earned quite a lot of recognition for K-content all over the globe. To the point, it invited Apple Inc., Warner Media, and Walt Disney Co., to invest in local-language shows and original series in order to attract more audiences.
@MechaDragon101 firmly believes that:
Despite people canceling their Netflix subscription, I'm betting you once Squid Game season 2 comes out, people are gonna come back knocking and those stock numbers are gonna shoot right back up again.

Back in November, for Halloween, Netflix’s “Squid Game” was the top-trending costume search on Google and Amazon. Such has been the craze for the Korean drama series.
Netflix is playing its cards hoping Squid Game’s second season may prevent the loss of further subscribers since the 70% slump in shares after losing 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter. It was the first time ever since 2011 that Netflix suffered such a hit. A projected estimate is that the company may very well lose another 2 million subscribers in the second quarter.
Previously, Netflix had been grasping at straws by introducing new tactics to prevent password sharing in an attempt to retain its subscribers. As a result, we can see why you’d rather switch to a different streaming service that’s less nagging. In case you ever need it, here are some other streaming services that might be handy.
Have you watched the global phenomenon of the streaming world that is Squid Game? What are your expectations from Season 2? Do you think Jun-ho will survive the fall and return to confront The Front Man once again? Let us know in the comment section below.
