SQUID GAME HELPS NETFLIX SUBSCRIPTIONS BACK

There is no stopping Squid Game. 🦑 The dystopian Korean series was watched by 142 million households in its first four weeks, and the feat has helped Netflix pick up subscriptions.

As non-English language shows continued to be the streaming platform’s best performers, the US firm added 4.4 million users in the three months up to 30 September, more than double the previous quarter.

According to Bloomberg, the Korean series is thought to be worth some $900m, after costing $21.4m to make.

The news comes as some Netflix staff prepare to walk out amid a backlash over US comedian Dave Chappelle. They accuse the star of mocking transgender people in his latest Netflix special, but the firm has defended him.
