Netflix continues to dominate the streaming landscape with its diverse and globally appealing content. Two of its highly popular series, Squid Game and Single’s Inferno, have been officially renewed for season 2 and season 4 respectively, promising more excitement and entertainment for fans worldwide.
Squid Game Season 2
After months of speculation and eager anticipation, Netflix has officially confirmed the much-awaited second season of Squid Game. Created by Hwang Dong Hyuk, the survival drama became an instant hit in 2021, securing record viewership on the platform. The renewal was announced in a letter to shareholders, with Netflix assuring fans that Season 2 will not be delayed another year.
While the exact release date remains undisclosed, Netflix has stated that Squid Game Season 2 is set to premiere later this year. The decision to renew the series was made during Netflix’s fourth-quarter earnings call in 2022, indicating the platform’s commitment to building on the first season’s success.
The popularity of Squid Game not only led to its renewal but also inspired a reality series on Netflix titled Squid Game: The Challenge. The spin-off followed a similar theme and format to the fictitious version, further engaging fans of the original series.
Single’s Inferno Season 4
In another groundbreaking move, Netflix has officially renewed Single’s Inferno for its fourth season. This marks a special milestone as it becomes the first Korean variety show on Netflix to reach a fourth season.
Single’s Inferno has set itself apart from Western dating shows by focusing on wit and emotional connections over excessive physical intimacy. Despite this departure from the norm, the show has gained global success, dominating FUNdex’s non-drama category during Season 3.
