Their recent adoption of the foreign language TV show "Squid Game" helped break all records currently grossing in over 90 countries.

Since 2015, Netflix has spent over $1 billion in foreign language shows alone but saw little success. But their latest release gained attention to millions of viewers worldwide and still grossing on various social platforms, toy stores and even Halloween costumes.

And it was just during the launch time of the show. Usually, Netflix hesitates to release show status or takes a minimum of 28 days, but this time, the platform took 17 days to brag about the stats.

The hit title is breaking every record coming its way; even in Western culture, it's proving to have a significant impact as it is trending on every social media. Netflix released their top 10 original series of all time during 2021 with the statics of 28 premiere days.

But once Netflix took the project and published it on their platform, it received 111 million global fans in just 17 days, which is mind-blowing. The show is the first one to surpass 100 M viewers during the premier.

Netflix does business in over 190 countries with millions of paid subscribers, and most of them watched the show. Squid Game director and writer said there was a barrier for a foreign movie to go into the global market in the previous days. They had to go to film festivals, find distributors and promote the show in separate locations. The barrier is closed with online platforms such as YouTube, Netflix, and the infrastructure is growing globally, breaking all barriers. This same show would've taken lots of time for processing or even torrenting at a large scale to reach this large number of audiences.

Netflix always remained shy to disclose viewership numbers and set fishy examples of how good the shows are doing. Still, this time, due to the breakout in the most diminutive time frame, even they couldn't control the urge but to disclose top trending shows and viewer count compared to Squid Games, to prove how successful the global sensation became.
