'Squid Game' Is Being Renewed for a Second Season
And you can expect Gi-hun to come back.
Squid Game fans, it’s time to rejoice because the Netflix hit show is coming back for Season 2.
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice,” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told the Associated Press on Monday. “But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently.”
Hwang confirmed he doesn’t have a set plot or confirmed release date for Season 2 as of yet. However, he does have big plans for the show’s protagonist, Seong Gi-Hun, played by actor Lee Jung-jae. “I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world,” Hwang said.
In September, Hwang revealed he’d consider teaming up with more writers and directors for Season 2. “I don’t have well developed plans for Squid Game 2,” he told Variety at the time. “It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers room and would want multiple experienced directors.”
