Filmmaker Hwang Dong-hyuk, creator of Netflix sensation “Squid Game,” has previously played it fairly coy when it comes to discussing a follow-up season.
When the series went viral and became a global smash hit earlier this year, he and the streaming giant played down any talk of a follow-up even as demand grew.
Dong-hyuk changed his tune in November though, saying “there will indeed be a second season” but things were in the very early planning stages.
Now that plan has changed again as he tells The Korea Times (via Deadline) this week the series could go beyond another season, saying:
“I’m in talks with Netflix over season two as well as season three. We will come to a conclusion any time soon.”
Squid Game is a survival drama set in Seoul, where hundreds of financially strapped contestants signed away their life rights to play children’s games for a chance at winning a $38 million grand prize. Lose any round and be prepared for a grisly death.
The series remains Netflix’s easily most-watched series ever with more than 142 million households tuning in.
