What surprises will it bring for the future?
With the conclusion of what appears to be the first season, speculation about a second immediately began. While the director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-Hyuk was not open to it, the truth is that he could not ignore how far the series has come.
Not only will there be a second, but a third season!
The same director has been in charge of announcing that the series is about to be renewed for two seasons. According to his own statements, he is already working with Netflix to find the ideal way forward.
Although no official announcement is expected to be made in the latter days of the year, negotiations are flowing. Dong-Hyuk has clarified that, possibly over the course of the next few weeks, the missing details may be finalized.
Dong-Hyuk has been open on the interview and the future of the series after granting a public address on KBS.
The popular South Korean radio and television network served as a starting point to reveal the information. Likewise, the director of The Squid Game took advantage of the moment to keep the waiting public informed.
All details mentioned by Dong-Hyuk, collected
The announcement of a third season has taken the Netflix community and fans of the series in general by surprise. In the beginning, the director had only spoken about a second part of the final installment.
It will take again as the protagonist Seong Gi-Hun, the brand-new winner of the last edition of the games. For the role, the return of Lee Jung-Jae will undoubtedly be key and will preserve the quality of the series up until now.
Recalling, the first season ended with Gi-Hun calling the higher ups at the complex where the games were held. Instead of going to the call of his daughter in the United States, the protagonist has preferred to put an end to such a macabre and sinister organization.
There is no doubt that the second half of the series will reveal and explain many details including the first. But, just thinking that there will be up to a third part, gives a glimpse of the possibilities that still remain to be explored in that universe.
The question is whether the quality and the reasons that led to the success of the series will remain intact.
Looking back, The Squid Game reached greatness to the point of being nominated for the Golden Globes and countless international awards. Undoubtedly, on the shoulders of the director lies a great responsibility and a great barrier to emerge.
