As fans are anticipating the sequel to the record-breaking South Korean survival drama television series, Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk who created the show has come out to share what we should be expecting from the sequel.
The Korean filmmaker made this known in The Hollywood Reporter exclusive, revealing that contrary to fans’ expectations, the sequel would be a natural evolution from where the story stopped in season one.
He said, “I’ve seen many reactions from people about the show, but I don’t want to make season two as a response to those reactions. The philosophies I put in season one all naturally extend to season two.
” Instead of trying to meet the expectations of viewers, I just thought about the last moment when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane, and I thought about what he will do next.”
He continued, “There will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season.
“I can’t share any details yet, but you know that Seong Gi-hun has become a totally new person by the end of season one, so season two is going to be about what that new Gi-hun is going to do and how things will unfold with this new kind of character.”
Released in 2021 to record-breaking acclaim, the series Squid Game revolves around a contest where four hundred and fifty-six players, all of whom are in deep financial hardship, risk their lives to play a series of deadly children’s games for the chance to win a huge sum of money.
