Squid Game 2 will be there

After smashing all the records and becoming a little must-have for last Halloween’s disguises, it was a bit inevitable that Netflix would confirm Squid Game for a second season, and it did. To bring the Korean creator, screenwriter and director Hwang Dong-hyuk to accept this new challenge were, in addition to the offer by the streaming giant, also the affection that viewers from all over the world have shown to have towards the series and its characters. Intercepted for an interview aboard a red carpet in Los Angeles, Dong-hyuk said that “that there was a lot of pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season of Squid game that I almost felt like I had no other choice. ‘

Then, the final announcement, not yet officially confirmed by Netflix: “There will absolutely be a second season. It’s already all in my head “, explained the showrunner pointing his index finger to his temple, “and I’m currently in the creative process. But I also feel I can say that it is still too early to say when it will materialize and how. So, I make you a promise: Gi-hun will come back and do something for the world. ” The finale of the first season of Squid Gameon the other hand, it seemed to suggest that the story would not end there and that, sooner or later, Gi-hun’s life would embark on a new adventure.

Waiting to find out on what basis the second season will rest, if it will persist with the system of the games and the organization that developed them or if it will go further behind the scenes by continuing to tell the social inequality of Korea, it is very likely that Squid Game must prepare for a season full of awards, particularly at the Emmy Awards, where Netflix could win hands down against competitors.
