Director Hwang Dong-hyuk has spoken out about the success of the series and the chances of a sequel, but he isn't quite ready for such a major undertaking yet.

In an exclusive interview with Variety, Hwang detailed the painstaking process that went into making the series a reality and the probability of a sequel. He often works alone on his projects, like the 2011 film Silenced, and he did the same for Squid Game, acting as both writer and director. Translating the story he created into a show on his own proved a grueling task for him that he isn't willing to repeat. It took him nearly six months to finish the first two episodes and the exhaustion from managing the show himself has led him to take a break from the series. He spoke on this during the interview:
"I don’t have well developed plans for ‘Squid Game 2.’ It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers’ room and would want multiple experienced directors."
While it's not a definitive no on a Season 2 or sequel series, it is a definite "not now." Squid Game is the culmination of nearly 13 years of planning and production. Hwang originally developed the concept back in 2008, originally planning for it to be a feature film.
sweet - I have Squid Game queued up and going to collect Alice in Borderlands......sounds really interesting!! Thx~!!!uber_shnitz wrote: ↑ Ok so I finished it last night and my initial opinion stands, I do prefer Alice in Borderlands as far as "deadly games" series go; Squid Game was good until the ending where I'm not sure if they were trying too hard to setup a season 2/sequel or they didn't know how to wrap it up, but it felt lackluster. It wasn't a big cliffhanger moment like Alice nor did it solve much either so it's in this weird place of "ok now what?" IMO.
