Why Netflix Doesn’t Need Another Squid Game
1Netflix’s Squid Game was a global Black Swan event—no one saw it coming, and everyone’s been trying to replicate it ever since. But is chasing another Squid Game really the best strategy for Netflix?
In this video, we break down why Netflix’s $2.5 billion investment in Korean content isn't about replicating virality—it's about building sustainable storytelling pipelines. We’ll explore the economics of Korean dramas, why lower production costs give K-dramas more creative freedom, and how Netflix may finally be learning from its own cancelation culture.
We’ll also draw comparisons to high-budget Netflix originals like Jupiter’s Legacy, Shadow and Bone, and even Stranger Things—and explain why those shows live and die by costly expectations. Plus, a fresh gaming comparison with Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 shows why it’s okay—smart, even—not to chase your last big hit.
And yes, we’re even bringing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine into the conversation to prove that long-term success doesn’t always start with massive hype.
