As a cinema connoisseur who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless series, I must admit that I was initially skeptical about the prospect of another season of “Squid Game.” However, after seeing the impact it made worldwide and hearing the creator’s assurance that the story will continue beyond Season 3, I find myself eagerly anticipating what lies ahead. It’s like a game within a game; just when you think it’s over, another round begins!
Now, if only they could bring back the Dalgona candy challenge in the next season, I might just be tempted to join the game myself – though I suspect my chances of winning 45.6 billion won are slim to none. But hey, a guy can dream, right? After all, who wouldn’t want to be the next Player 456?
Joke: And you thought your holiday shopping list was long! Imagine having to find 456 people to play a deadly game of Red Light, Green Light… talk about a Black Friday nightmare!
The game continues beyond Squid Game Season 3, as confirmed by the show’s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, in a recent interview. Despite the announcement of a third and final season of the globally popular Korean survival thriller airing next year, the storyline of Squid Game will live on past its concluding chapter. The game involves 456 players risking their lives for a chance to win a massive cash prize of 45.6 billion won, as depicted in the seven-episode series that concluded with a mid-credits scene hinting at a future season finale in 2025.
It’s clear that Netflix has plans for more “Squid Game”. Hwang stated confidently that they won’t abandon this concept. Apart from a second season of the reality competition series “Squid Game: The Challenge”, Netflix has also approved an English adaptation of “Squid Game” produced by David Fincher, who worked on “House of Cards” and “Mindhunter”.
Perhaps I’ll become involved in one of these ventures, either as an advisor or a collaborator. Time will tell! Regarding the reality show and the US adaptation of ‘Squid Game’, Hwang stated. However, he clarified that Season 3 won’t mark the conclusion of the ‘Squid Game’ universe.
Ever since the premiere of “Squid Game 2” on December 26, this Golden Globe-nominated series has made history by becoming the first Netflix show to rank number one in every single one of the 93 countries where the platform is accessible.
In 2021, the debut season of Squid Game 1 exploded onto the global scene, dethroning Stranger Things as Netflix’s most-watched series to date and holding the top spot in the Global Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks – a remarkable achievement for any non-English production. The show subsequently made headlines when its lead actor, Lee Jung-jae, became the first Asian performer to win the Emmy for Best Actor in a Drama at the 74th Emmys. Additionally, director Hwang Dong-hyuk’s victory in the Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series category marked him as the first Asian and Korean individual to receive this prestigious award.
In essence, “Squid Game 3” is, in a technical sense, the second half of season 2. Netflix divided the season when Hwang, the creator, initially planned for the first season of “Squid Game” to be a standalone series. However, as he found that there were too many episodes for season 2, the season was split up.
Initially, during the production of the first season, I hadn’t envisioned or even considered the possibility of more seasons, Hwang shared with Entertainment Weekly. This is because in Korea, it’s not usual for series to span multiple seasons, and also because the first season was so taxing that I wasn’t sure I had the courage to tackle another round where I would be responsible for writing, directing, and creating throughout.
In the final episode of the first season, Player 456/Gi-hun (Lee) swore to utilize his winnings to pursue The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and those behind the game’s enigmatic creators. Although Squid Game 2 leaves off with a suspenseful cliffhanger, Squid Game 3 aims to wrap up Gi-hun’s narrative – though the Squid Game Universe may still expand in subsequent episodes or spinoffs.
After wrapping up season 1, I found myself eager to conclude the narrative I started telling,” Hwang explained. “I chose to end the story with season 3 because, in my opinion, the story I intended to convey reached its full resolution at the end of season 3. The tale that I wanted to share and that I could effectively express through Gi-hun, has been fully told by season 3.”
Squid Game: Season 2 is now available on Netflix, with plans for season 3 to premiere in 2025.
