Just over two years have passed since Squid Game made its global impact on Netflix, emerging as one of the most significant shows worldwide. In the interim, the series’ creator and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has been diligently crafting the highly anticipated new season. Shortly after the show’s debut, Hwang disclosed his ongoing efforts on the next season, stating, “It’s all in my head. I have the basic storyline, the broad plan, so we’re in the brainstorming stages,” in an interview with the Associated Press. Reflecting on the immense success of the first season, he humorously expressed, “I almost feel like it would not make sense to create a season two, and I also feel like there are going to be some fans kind of trying to stalk me where I live and do something to me if I don’t give them a second season, so I’m going to go ahead and say there will be a second season. But as for when, I cannot tell you now. He will come back, he will come back and do something about this world.” The assurance of a second season coupled with Hwang’s intriguing insights into the creative process heighten the anticipation for what lies ahead in the Squid Game universe.
