“Squid Game” season 3 had the best 10-day viewership in Netflix’s history, with 106.3 million views, the analyst stated.

"The remainder of the 2H slate should continue to build on this success with the return of high profile shows (Wednesday & Stranger Things), new releases (Frankenstein, Happy Gilmore 2, etc.) as well as live events (Álvarez vs. Crawford, NFL on Christmas, etc.)," she further wrote.
