Squid Game has become the number 1 show in many countries since it was released on Netflix.

According to Netflix's co-CEO Ted Sarandos, the show is poised to become the biggest show ever on Netflix.

“There’s a show on Netflix right now that is the number one in the world. Like, everywhere in the world. It’s called 'Squid Game,'. It’s only been out for nine days, and it’s a very good chance it’s going to be our biggest show ever," Ted remarked during his talk at CodeCon last September as reported by today.com.

Squid Game was released on Netflix on September 17.
