Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk said that seasons 2 and 3 are in the works. As soon as it aired on Netflix earlier this year, the survival drama Squid Game, about people who are hopelessly in debt and compete in lethal versions of children’s games for a massive cash reward, went viral throughout the world.
South Korea’s nine-part series, which premiered just weeks ago, raked in hundreds of millions of viewers, reviving interest in international dramas.Because of the impact and the fact that Squid Game season 1 ended on a cliffhanger, there was instant concern about whether the thriller would continue.
It has been Hwang’s goal to remind viewers that the series was a labour of love that took him and his team years to put together. According to the inventor, a second season of Squid Game will be released at some point in the future. Hwang hinted about a third instalment in additional comments.
Hwang revealed that negotiations for the second season of Squid Game are ongoing in an online interview with the Korean network KBS. Squid Game’s writer-director, on the other hand, says a third season is in the works. Comments in the past have been centred on the near future, namely the release of a second instalment in the popular series. In an interview with The Korea Times, Hwang said the following, which we’ve translated for you.
For the second and third seasons, I’m in talks with Netflix. “We’ll come to a decision at some point,” he said.
It’s no surprise that Hwang was contacted by the company’s executives about producing more episodes of Squid Game. Since the thriller’s wide appeal, it has not only outperformed all of its Netflix competitors this year, but has also spawned numerous cultural trends and merchandise, from costumes to Funko pop figurines and themed cafes.
Stars like Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon and Anupam Tripathi are among the cast members who have made their mark on the entertainment industry. There aren’t many truly global hits like Squid Game these days, what with so many new shows and movies popping up and quickly disappearing among the plethora of options.
