It's official, the Netflix TV series Squid Game will be back for a season two, even though most TV shows in South Korea run for just one season. But due to the show's global success, its creator and director said, "I almost feel like you leave us no choice."
"There's been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season," Hwang Dong-hyuk said at a red-carpet celebration for the show Monday night.
"It's in my head right now. I'm in the planning process currently. But I do think it's too early to say when and how that's going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will be back and he'll do something for the world."
The series, starring Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun and others in the ensemble cast, centres on people who are so desperate for money that they agree to take part in a series of schoolyard games with a deadly twist.
The dystopian survival drama from South Korea is said to have become Netflix's biggest-ever TV show. With that success has come global recognition for its stars.
