Squid Game may return for two more rounds. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed in a recent interview with Korean broadcaster KBS that he’s presently in talks with Netflix over not just a second, but also a third season of the international hit, reports The Hollywood Reporter.
In the weeks that followed its September 17 debut, the dystopian South Korean show became the streamer’s biggest series in its history — reaching 142-million member households globally and becoming the first to surpass 100 million views.
“I’m in talks with Netflix over season 2 as well as season 3,” the writer-director said, according to The Korea Times, which reported the news Tuesday. “We will come to a conclusion anytime soon.”
During a November special screening and Q&A for the series, Hwang shared that he had been working on a season two storyline and was currently in talks with Netflix over another season — something he felt “a lot of pressure for” while in Korea and had since been asked about repeatedly by the press in Los Angeles following the show’s breakout global success.
