The ‘Squid Game’ creator is thinking loudly about starring Leonardo DiCaprio in the future.
At the Emmy Awards a few days ago, there were a total of six prizes for the angry Netflix series “Squid Game”, including the Emmy for series star Lee Jung-jae (49) as “Lead Actor in a Drama Series”. Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk (51) also received the Emmy for “Best Director” for the opening episode “Red Light, Green Light”. At a press conference in his home country of South Korea, Hwang also revealed that he might ask superstar Leonardo DiCaprio (47) for a potential third season of the series. That reports “Variety”.
There are no Hollywood stars in season two
However, according to the series creator, no Hollywood stars will appear in the already confirmed second season of “Squid Game”. It’s “not part of his plan,” Hwang said, since the new episodes will again be set in South Korea. However, if Netflix orders a third season, that could obviously change.
“Leonardo DiCaprio said he’s a big fan of ‘Squid Game,’ so if time or opportunity allows, we might ask him to be in the games,” the series creator said. Many other Hollywood stars have also publicly declared that they love the series.
“Squid Game”: What the series maker reveals about season two
The second edition will therefore start production next year and will be released on Netflix in 2024. The budget and thus the production values of the series will be significantly higher this time, as the series maker also revealed. He has also already determined the – presumably again deadly – games that will be seen in the new episodes.
