This may be the most obvious development in the history of streaming TV, but Netflix's chaotic hit "Squid Game" will indeed return in season 2, screenwriter/director Huang Dong Hyuk officially confirmed in an interview with The Associated Press.

Although Huang Donghe talked about the potential idea of ​​Squid Game Season 2, this is the first time he has truly said that it will definitely happen. This is a translation of what he said in an interview with the Associated Press, you can watch it below:

"So there is so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for the second season. So I almost feel that you leave us no choice! But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It is in my mind now Here. I’m currently in the planning process. But I do think it’s too early to say when and how this will happen. So I will assure you... (in English) Ki-hoon will come back and he will do it for the world What to order."

Huang Dong Hyuk once again talked about the potential of the second season before. The following are his previous views on the prospects. He said he needs help this time. Before, he wrote and directed every episode of "Game of Squid" by himself:

"I didn't make a perfect plan for "Game of Squid 2". It would be tiring to think about it. But if I did it, I would definitely not do it alone. I would consider using a screenwriter room, and I would need more experienced staff director."

Later, he publicly talked about a potential idea for Season 2, which involved the newly discovered attention to the police, using Frontman as the focus:

"If I really want to do one-a story about Frontman [the former policeman overseeing the game now]. I think the police problem is not just a Korean problem. I saw it on the global news. This is what I want to raise. One question. Maybe I can talk more about this in the second season."

Huang Dong-hyuk previously stated that "Squid Game" did not make him as rich as the VIPs in the show, because the original contract he signed with Netflix to produce the show did not come with a performance bonus. But obviously, given the huge success of the series, which is more than twice as popular as any other Netflix original work in history, he can hardly negotiate a generous package to return and produce Season 2, even if that’s not It must be the original plan, and he must now construct his ideas from scratch.

This is also the first official confirmation of Ki-hoon’s return. This is a bit spoiler in itself, but if you watch the end of the show, you will know that he will certainly appear in the second season, even if there is one he didn’t participate in. New competition. And it seems that the forward (and possibly his brother?) will also be back.

As for the timetable, I expect the second season of "Squid Game" to take more than a year, because he is still only thinking about this season when we speak. So 18 months? Two years? I don't rule it out, but whenever it hits, it will be huge.
