You might be surprised at the sheer number of TV shows and movies added to Netflix every month. The high-profile releases get marketing campaigns and big rollouts, but smaller releases may only be recommended by the algorithm, making it difficult for other viewers to stumble upon them.
But every now and then, a project manages to break through and find success all the same, like Tiger King or Squid Game. Back in February, an action movie with a massive sci-fi twist managed to become one of Netflix’s most-viewed films, and now it’s looking to double down with a sequel.
