SQUID GAME Creator In Talks With Netflix About What Season 3 Could Be!
News has come our way that the creator of the smash hit ‘Squid Game’ is already in talks with Netflix regarding season 3!
In a conversation with KBS in Korea, Hwang Gon -hyuk that he's already had conversations with the streaming giant. "I'm in talks with Netflix over season 2 as well as season 3," Hwang explained (credit to Korea Times for the translation). "We will come to a conclusion any time soon."
Knowing Netflix, they will try their best to keep this cash cow a float and have already been developing Video Games, tons of merch, and possibly spin-off shows for the franchise.
Recently, Hwang spoke to the Associated Press about the upcoming second season of the show. Fans were clamoring for more of the show as soon as the final episode played on their screens.
"So, there's been so much pressure, so much demand, and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice," he began. "But, I will say there will indeed be a second season. 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."
The creator is not against coming up with ideas for the 2nd season though. EW hosted a panel discussion with Hwang and he had this to say.
"I'm not really in the right place to be discussing season 2 in an official setting, but if there were to be a season 2, in the first season that we saw Gi-hun is a character whose humanity is shown through or exposed in certain situations," Hwang explained. "In other words, his humanity is shown through a very passive manner. But I would think that in the second season, what he has learned from the games and his experience in the first season, they will all be put to use in a more active manner."
"And at the same time, as for the Front Man [Lee Byung-hun] who was also a past winner but became a Front Man, it's like Darth Vader," the creator added. "Some end up Jedi and some become Darth Vader, right? I think that maybe Gi-hun will go through a certain critical point where he is put through a test as well."
Either way, the anticipation for ANYTHING Squid Game related is sure to get eaten up by fans. Here’s hoping we get more info and a release date soon from Netflix.
