'Squid Game' May Become Netflix's Most Popular | HYPEBEAST - HYPEBEAST

Squid Game was the first Korean drama to hit No.1 on Netflix and did it in just four days after its release. According to Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s co-CEO and Head of Content, “Squid Game will definitely be our biggest non-English language show in the world, for sure,” and has “a very good chance it’s going to be our biggest show ever.”

Netflix typically measures the popularity of its shows based on how many people watch a title for at least two minutes in the first 28 days following its debut. As the series was released on September 17, it only has 11 days of viewership so far. Currently, the most popular series is Bridgerton, followed by Lupin at number 2. The full list of shows can be found here.

In an interview with Variety, Dong-Hyuk Hwang says he may return to produce feature movies before making the sequel to Squid Game. “If I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers’ room and would want multiple experienced directors,” said Hwang. The director is currently working on drafting a film titled KO Club,  short for “Killing Old Men Club,” a film depicting an inter-generational war of sorts.

Elsewhere in entertainment, Netflix reveals a documentary on QuadrigaCX’s crypto Ponzi scheme.

Elizabeth Hurley said it was a "nightmare" working with Matthew Perry on their 2002 film "Serving Sara," which was shot at the height of his drug addiction.  The production had to be abruptly shut down because the "Friends" star needed to enter rehab for two months.  Still, the "Royals" actress doesn’t hold it against Perry, who detailed his addiction struggles in his new memoir, "Friends, Lovers and the Big Terrible Thing."  Hurley recently told Yahoo! Entertainment it was a "little tough" during the film’s hiatus. But when he returned to filming after two months in rehab he was "fabulous."

Daisy Edgar-Jones in ‘Where the Crawdads Sing’: Film Review - Hollywood Reporter

Image
Where the Crawdads Sing is the kind of tedious moral fantasy that fuels America’s misguided idealism. It’s an attempt at a complex tale about rejection, difference and survival. But the film, like the novel it’s based on, skirts the issues — of race, gender and class — that would texture its narrative and strengthen its broad thesis, resulting in a story that says more about how whiteness operates in a society allergic to interdependence than it does about how communities fail young people. Directed by Olivia Newman ( First Match ), the film adaptation of Delia Owens’ popular and controversial novel of the same name tells the remarkable tale of a shy, reclusive girl raised in the marshes of North Carolina who finds herself embroiled in a grisly police investigation. Her name is Kya ( Daisy Edgar-Jones of Normal People , Fresh and Under the Banner of Heaven ), but to those in the neighboring town, whose residents abhor her, she is known simply as “Marsh Girl.” The account of her
