“Squid Game,” the hyper-buzzy Korean drama that has become Netflix’s biggest-ever TV show, is on track to deliver an astounding payback for the streaming service, according to the company’s internal estimates.

Netflix paid $21.4 million for the nine-episode series, which premiered four weeks ago, and the company estimates “Squid Game” will deliver more than 40 times that — an estimated $891 million — in what the company calls “impact value,” Bloomberg reported Saturday, citing confidential internal data that someone provided to the outlet.

Netflix did not immediately respond to a request for comment. According to Bloomberg’s report, a lawyer for Netflix told the news outlet that it would be “inappropriate” for Bloomberg to publish the confidential data contained in the documents.

On Friday, Netflix fired an employee who admitted they downloaded and shared internal company data externally. That included financial data for “Squid Game” and Dave Chappelle’s stand-up special “The Closer,” for which Netflix allegedly paid $24.1 million. The Chappelle special has become a lightning rod for critics upset about his homophobic and transphobic comments in “The Closer” and has led to a planned employee walkout on Oct. 20. The Netflix employee who leaked the data may have been motivated by a desire to embarrass the company. The pink-slipped staffer was the only employee who had accessed data for the programming later cited by Bloomberg.

In the 23 days since the Sept. 17 debut of “Squid Game,” some 132 million Netflix households have streamed at least two minutes of the show, according to Bloomberg’s report. About 89% of those viewers watched at least 75 minutes (i.e., more than one episode) and 66% of them, or 87 million, finished the entire series. Overall, Netflix users have streamed more than 1.4 billion hours of “Squid Game.” (Note that Netflix’s measurements aren’t verified by a third party.)

In “Squid Game,” 456 desperately debt-stricken contestants compete in a deadly competition of mysterious origin, pitting them against each other in a series of Korean children’s games for the chance to win 45.6 billion won (about $38.5 million) in prize money.

“Squid Game” creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk said he intended the series to highlight the growing wealth gap in the modern world. “I wanted to write a story that was an allegory or fable about modern capitalist society, something that depicts an extreme competition, somewhat like the extreme competition of life,” he told Variety in an interview last month.
