The unprecedented global viral hit imagines a macabre world in which marginalized people are pitted against one another in traditional children’s games. While the victor can earn millions in cash, losing players are killed.



Netflix has made Squid Game available in both dubbed and subtitled versions in multiple languages, expanding its potential worldwide audience. It is also the latest success for the streamer's bid to produce more international and non-English language content.

However, despite the unpreceded response, Netflix is expected to be behind in the race of gaining subscribers as according to a recent analyst forcast, Disney is expected to outscore Netflix by the end of 2025 to become in terms of subscribers.
