Netflix has announced that its smash hit Korean survival thriller series “Squid Game” will be submitted to drama categories for award shows such as the Emmys and the Critics’ Choice Awards as opposed to ‘international’ categories.
The announcement comes as the series has yet to confirm a second season with the show’s sole writer/director Hwang Dong-hyuk working on another film first. Hwang will not be eligible for WGA & DGA Awards as he’s not a guild member.
“Squid Game” will go up against series like “Succession” and “Better Call Saul” among others in a category that’s not seen as competitive as the limited series category.
