SQUID GAME DIRECTOR CONFIRMS THE RETURNING OF A SECOUND SEASON

A second season of ‘Squid Game’ is coming! Months after leaving fans in the dark on the future of his hit series ‘Squid Game’, Director Hwang Dong-hyuk finally has some news.⁣
⁣
Without giving too much away, the show creator in a recent interview confirmed plans to create the much anticipated sequel with Netflix.⁣
⁣
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season,” Hwang said. “So I almost feel like you leave us no choice! But I will say there will indeed be a second season.”⁣
⁣
The filmmaker who was interviewed alongside the show’s lead star, Lee Jung-jae, also confirmed that he will be returning as Gi-Hun to “do something for the world.”⁣
⁣
This will be the first time Hwang will publicly announce a sequel. The filmmaker once revealed in an exclusive interview with Variety that he had no developed plans for a second season.⁣
⁣
“I don’t have well-developed plans for Squid Game 2. It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers room and would want multiple experienced directors.⁣
⁣
“It took me six months to write and rewrite the first two episodes. Then I consulted verbally with friends, and picked up clues for improvements through my own pitching and from their responses.”⁣
⁣
The nine-episode thriller series directed by Hwang premiered to instant acclaim on September 17. In weeks, it had shattered a momentous record as the most-watched series in Netflix’s history with over 100 million worldwide views.⁣
