A boost in demand for Netflix’s reality competition series Squid Game: The Challenge helped it reach No. 2 on the digital originals chart in Canada.

The show, which is inspired by Netflix’s hit drama series Squid Game, was 28.96 times more in demand than the average TV series in Canada for the week of Nov. 27 to Dec. 3, according to Parrot Analytics. The series gained more than 10 demand points from last week’s chart, where it sat at No. 9.

Parrot Analytics calculates its Top 10 lists using Demand Expressions, which are shown by using a metric that demonstrates how much more in-demand the top series are than the average TV show (linear, pay TV, SVOD and AVOD) in Canada. For example, a difference of 1x represents the market average and 10x means a series is 10 times more in demand than the average TV show in this market.
