Impossible to miss. Squid Game is displayed everywhere: on social networks, in your conversations with friends, and of course on the Netflix home page. Two weeks after its release, the South Korean series is still the most watched program on the platform in France. And inevitably, at the end of the nine episodes, the whole world wonders if a sequel is planned.
If we want to get an answer to our questions, we must turn to Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator of the series, who gave an interview to the American media. Variety. “I don’t have well-developed plans for Squid Game 2. Just thinking about it is quite exhausting. But if I had to do it, I certainly wouldn’t do it on my own. I would consider bringing in several writers and multiple experienced directors, ”he announced.
Six months needed for the first two episodes
If a second season of Squid Game may see the light of day, so it won’t be anytime soon. Hwang Dong-hyuk has also confided that the process of creating the series was not easy. “Writing it was more difficult than usual for me because it was a series and not a movie,” he said. It took me six months to write and rewrite the first two episodes. “
Before getting down to writing a sequel (eventually), Hwang Dong-hyuk is currently working on the beginnings of a film titled KO Club, abbreviation of “Killing Old Men Club”. According to its summary, this feature film will tell the story of an intergenerational war. As in Squid Game, so maybe there will be blood, blood and a little more blood.
