Four months ago, Squid Game climbed to No.1 on Netflix’s US daily Top 10 list en route to becoming the streamer’s most watched original series ever. Now another Korean drama, All Of Us Are Dead, has accomplished the feat.
This makes Korea the first country to place multiple non-English language series atop Netflix’s US daily Top 10, cementing its status as the hottest supplier of local content.
Zombie YA series All of Us Are Dead, which rose to No.1 in its seventh day of release vs. Day 4 for Squid Game, clearly rode on the latter’s coattails, benefitting from the skyrocketing interest in Korean dramas in the wake of Squid Game‘s phenomenal success.
But the one-two punch of Squid Game and All of Us Are Dead did not come out of nowhere. There had been a rapid build-up of interest in K-dramas on Netflix, with US viewership jumping over 200% between 2019 and 2021.
The 12-episode All Of Us Are Dead, which premiered Jan. 28, follows a group of students trapped in a high school who find themselves in dire situations as they seek to be rescued from a zombie invasion of their school.
