Squid Game die-hards, the Netflix gods have spoken as it has officially been announced that another season of the streaming megahit has been confirmed.
In speaking to the Associated Press, writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed:
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season… I almost feel like you leave us no choice.”
Of course, given the magnitude of success the show was enthralled in, there would be very little margin to not capitalise on another game or two. On the other hand, fans have become so invested in the Squid Game world to the extent where the retro green tracksuits and white vans took over in early October, that it simply wouldn’t make sense to not feed their curiosity cravings.
As for what is known about the show, Dong-hyuk admits that he’s still in the dawn of development.
According to the New York Post, the genius behind the story expressed:
(Disclaimer – spoiler alert).
“It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently. But I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this…
Gi-hun will come back to the screen to “do something for the world.”
However, as a treat of information, as per Forbes, Dong-hyuk did express that he would want a writer room to help envision ideas, that he wouldn’t do it alone. He’s also previously alluded to plots surrounding the police in the game, using the Frontman as a focus.
In terms of the show’s massive earnings, Dong-hyuk (who for context, didn’t have a contract that came with a performance bonus) joked that:
“It’s possible that I have to do Season 2 to become as rich as ‘Squid Game’s’ winner,” in light of knowing just how much the show is worth.
