Netflix adds Squid Game avatars just as Korean drama sets new viewership record

Netflix doesn't just release unique profile icons for every series on the platform. There are only a handful of series that have this privilege, which includes Bridgerton, the series that Squid Game displaced for the top spot, and Stranger Things, which is about to get its fourth season soon, among others.

With that said, Netflix's release of Squid Game profile icons solidifies the success of its $20 million+ investment in the series.

If you're wondering how you can change your profile icon, it's easy. All you need to do is to sign in and go to Manage Profiles instead of logging in to your profile as normal. There, you'll find a pencil icon over the profiles on your account. If you hover to your preferred profile, you'll be taken to the settings page where you can choose the icon that you want to use as your avatar.

For Squid Game specifically, Netflix has uploaded the entire Squid Game cast to the icon list. You can even choose to use the terrifying doll from the series' first game, Red Light Green Light, as well as the masked soldiers.

It's no secret that fans are hoping that Netflix renews Squid Game for a second season. Unfortunately, it appears that this isn't going to come anytime soon. If it's any consolation, the series creator and director did share a couple of ideas that he has, if Squid Game does get a follow-up season.
