The Netflix slate is indicative of just how powerful Squid Game’s influence is, and it is a power that will only grow. K-dramas have had a growing international appeal for several years now, and have been a quieter addition to Netflix’s slate for a few years. With 29 upcoming titles, Netflix is significantly expanding their commitment to Korean-language content. If this 2025 plan is successful, this production is sure to continue.
Our Take On Netflix’s K-Drama Expansion
Squid Game Has Huge Influence
The streamer has Squid Game to thank for this growth opportunity. The fact that several Squid Game actors will be featured in this upcoming K-drama slate is no surprise, as they will likely be a draw in the project’s marketing campaign. Squid Game has put Korean television on the map internationally, and its success might have a compounding effect as Netflix heads into a busy year for K-drama.
