In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has teased some new details regarding Netflix’s highly-anticipated second season of Squid Game. It has been revealed that the survival thriller drama might potentially make its return at the end of 2023 or perhaps in 2024.
Hwang confirmed that Season 2 is still in the very early stages of development, as he currently has “three pages worth of ideas that he plans to turn into a script.” He also promises fans that the next installment will definitely include more games.
“Humanity is going to be put to a test through those games once again,” Hwang teased. “I want to ask the question, ‘Is true solidarity between humans possible?’”

Due to its critical and commercial success, the series had earned three Golden Globe nominations, including South Korean veteran actor O Yeong-su winning Best Supporting Actor in a Series for his portrayal of Oh Il-nam/Player 001. It also recently made history by becoming the first non-English show to receive four major SAG nominations including Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor for Lee Jung-jae, Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor for Jung Ho-yeon, Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble, and Outstanding Performance by a Stunt Ensemble.
Squid Game hails from writer-director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, who is best known for his work on South Korean films such as The Fortress, Miss Granny, and Silenced. It centers around a group of 456 cash-strapped players who accepted a strange invitation to compete in children’s games on a remote island in hopes of winning 456 billion won. However, they find out that the prize comes with deadly high stakes.
The series is led by acclaimed actors Lee Jung-jae (Along with the Gods), Park Hae-soo (Prison Playbook), Wi Ha-joon (Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum), O Yeong-su (God of War), Anupam Tripathi (Strangers From Hell), Heo Sung-tae (Beyond Evil), Kim Joo-ryoung (Andante), and model HoYeon Jung in her acting TV debut.
Currently, Squid Game has now become Netflix’s biggest original series launch of all time. For its first four weeks, it has been watched by a whopping 142 million member households globally.
