The appointment is made, it is on December 26, 2024 that Netflix will put season 2 of Squid Game. Yes, even though the end of season 1 could be enough to conclude the story, the streaming platform managed to motivate Hwang Dong-hyuk (the creator) to imagine a sequel. At the same time, as the main person confessed to the BBC, it was not difficult to convince.
A thoughtful return… for the money
Asked by the British media about the reason that pushed him to return to service, even though he had sworn not to do so again (the production of season 1 had been painful both physically and mentally), Hwang Dong -hyuk simply replied: “For the money“.
And for good reason, as certain studies revealed, the immense box of Squid Game (which became the most watched series in Netflix history) had not created a run-off behind the scenes. “Even though season 1 was a gigantic overall success, I honestly didn't win muchwhispered the creator, pointing out certain clauses in the contract. So to be able to achieve this season 2 will help me compensate for the success of season 1“. No amount has been revealed, but there is no doubt that the banker of the streaming site must have trembled during the negotiations.
Well, we reassure you, Hwang Dong-hyuk still confessed that the return of Squid Game was not solely dictated by a financial objective: “I also hadn't completely finished the story.“And added that the state of the world, affected by wars, climate change and rising tensions between different clans, depressed him as much as it inspired him.”In creating the series, I constantly asked myself, 'Do we, as humans, have what it takes to turn the world away from this descent into hell?' Honestly, I don't know” revealed the showrunner.
It remains to be seen whether this return will be as effective and as popular as the first batch.
