Hwang has previously confirmed he’s in talks with Netflix for aseason 2 and 3ofSquid Game, which became the streaming service’s biggest hit ever after its 2021 debut withover 111 million viewers.
The Korean survival thriller follows 456 individuals who have chosen to compete in a series of children’s games to win a $40 million cash prize, which would absolve their respective debts. But losing the games has deadly consequences for contestants.

“There will be more great games, that’s all I can say,” Hwang told Deadline. “I’m just still brainstorming and collecting the ideas for season 2. I haven’t even started with the writing yet.”
“Who can expect this kind of success?” he added. “I tried hard to make a successful show, but I never expected this much success. It’s a surprise.”
