Netflix is set to release more than 25 Korean originals in 2022, its most in a single year.
Its latest, the Korean-language zombie series "All of Us Are Dead," debuted on Friday. In its first three days of availability, it was viewed for 124.79 million hours globally, according to Netflix, making it the streamer's biggest series right now.
Every Tuesday, Netflix updates its weekly rankings of its most popular movies and TV shows. The lists are based on hours watched during the previous week.
Netflix spent $500 million on content from South Korea last year. The Korean series "Squid Game," which launched in September, was its most watched series of all time. The show was watched for 1.65 billion hours in its first 28 days of release, easily topping Netflix's No. 2 biggest series ever, "Bridgerton."
Behind "All of Us Are Dead" this week was "Ozark," which recently debuted the first part of its fourth and final season, and the Colombian hit telenovela "Café con Aroma de Mujer." The latter isn't available on Netflix in the US, where it airs on Telemundo and streams on Peacock.
Netflix is also investing heavily in telenovelas as it seeks to attract subscribers in Latin America, which the company identified as a region of slowing growth during its latest earnings call last month.
