Heads up! This discussion may reveal significant spoilers about Squid Game Season 3. After a gap of four years, Squid Game finally concluded its run on Netflix and the last episode of the final season laid out the groundwork for the rumored American spin-off series starring some big names from Hollywood. Initially, Squid Game appeared to be a self-contained story by creator Hwang Dong-hyuk when it debuted during the pandemic. However, the show’s unprecedented success turned it into a massive hit for Netflix, compelling them to continue its journey with two more seasons. Additionally, Netflix has been actively exploring opportunities to expand this wildly popular franchise even beyond that.
One challenge with extending the storyline beyond the original Squid Game series is deciding where to take it next. However, creators have opted to develop a spinoff series instead, this time set in the United States. This American-language adaptation of the franchise has reportedly been under development for several years, and it seems that significant progress has been made with the finale of Squid Game Season 3. With renowned actress Cate Blanchett (known for her roles in Thor: Ragnarok, Borderlands, Black Bag) joining the cast, Squid Game is hinting at a fresh setting for future episodes.

Why Is Cate Blanchett in Squid Game Season 3?
In the concluding installment of Squid Game Season 3, the Front Man journeys to Los Angeles, California, intending to pass Seong Gi-Hun’s possessions to his daughter after the games have ended. However, a distinct slapping noise from a nearby alleyway diverts his attention, and he spots a woman playing an identical Ddakji game – the same one Gong Yoo’s recruiter had been seen playing in earlier episodes. As it turns out, this is Cate Blanchett, who undeniably serves as the American recruiter for this new version of the game. This final wink to the series hints at future developments.
In Squid Game, one key theme is that no matter what Seong Gi-Hun attempted to achieve during the games he played, he couldn’t change or halt the underlying system. No matter how hard he fought, it would make little difference in preventing others from participating or organizing these games. It has now become evident that if Gi-Hun managed to stop them in Korea, the games are continuing elsewhere globally. This explains why the creator was candid about Squid Game not having a happy ending before its release.
What Does This Mean for Squid Game?
News has surfaced about the creation of a fresh English adaptation of Squid Game, with David Fincher potentially leading this new direction for the series. Whether or not the conclusion of this version will align with Fincher’s take on the franchise is yet to be determined, but it certainly broadens the narrative possibilities. It has now been disclosed that these lethal games are being played in various parts of the globe, thereby expanding the scope of the franchise to unprecedented levels.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk may have concluded the story of Squid Game, but delved deeply into its central theme of how capitalism harms everyone involved. However, it seems that the Squid Game universe is just beginning to unfold, with more content on the horizon. This includes the upcoming reality show adaptation, Squid Game: The Challenge, and there’s much more to come beyond that. In essence, the story of Squid Game is far from finished.
