Squid Game officially returns to Netflix for a second season. According to director Huang Dong-hyuk, in the second season, Gi-Hong and the mysterious frontman will return. The note also says that “the man in the ddakji suit may return” and that we will also meet Cheol-su, Young-hee’s boyfriend.
“It took 12 years to bring the first season of The Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series to date, Hwang wrote. “As a screenwriter, director and producer of” Squid Game “, a huge cry to fans around the world. Thank you for watching and loving our show … Join us once again for a whole new round. ”
The resumption comes despite a change in the fate of Netflix after the show’s initial debut. While Squid Game was a huge worldwide hit, in April Netflix reported its first drop in subscribers in 10 years. This was quickly followed by cuts and reported tightening of production budgets virtually everywhere. Netflix is also focusing on restricting password sharing and has told employees it will launch ad-supported streaming by the end of this year.
The Korean series became the largest Netflix series ever launched. Last year, Huang said he was in the “planning process” of developing a second season, while Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said “the Squid Game universe has just begun.” In other words, we all knew the second season was coming up, but now it’s official.
It is unclear when exactly the second season will make its debut – or whether it is even over. In an interview with Vanity Fair, Huang told the publication that he could see the next season of Squid Game coming out by the end of 2023 or 2024 and will include more devilish games. So, if you were hoping to see what problems Gi-Hong would get into next, you may have to wait a year or two.
