This year, the South Korean thriller suspense TV series "Squid Game", produced by video streaming giant Netflix, directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, and starring Lee Jeong-jae, Park Hae-so and Jung Ho-juan, was once popular all over the world, ranking first in Netflix's global ratings list for 7 consecutive days.
Such a popular TV series, Netflix can not make a sequel.
Recently, in an interview with South Korean television KBS, director Hwang Dong Hyuk revealed some information about the second and third seasons of the show.
"I'm currently talking to Netflix about the second and third seasons of the show." Huang Donghe said: "I think our discussion will soon come to some kind of conclusion... I know a lot of viewers are waiting for news, so each of us is working hard to prepare for the next season with positive prospects. ”
In the first season, the male protagonists Cheng Qixun, Cao Shangyou and 456 other contestants participate in a mysterious "squid game" competition, the content of the game is very simple, including 123 wooden people, guessing coins and other games that children can play.
Although the content of the game is very simple, if the contestants violate the rules of the game, or are eliminated in the game, what awaits them is to be killed.
Up to now, the rating of this TV series on Douban has dropped to 7.6 points, of which 19.6% of the audience has scored five-star praise, and the four-star audience has reached 48.1%.
The first season is on fire, so what story will the next second season tell? Hwang Dong Hyuk also doesn't mind spoiling some news in advance.
"The focus of this season will be on Lee Jeong-jae's role of Sung Ki-hoon, unveiling the story of the organization behind the game. The main plot of the second season will be the story of the people Sung Ki-hoon meets and the people he chases. ”
In response to the news revealed by Hwang Dong Hyuk, Netflix also quickly issued a statement: "It is true that we are discussing the various possibilities of "Squid Games", including the production of the third season, but everything has not yet been determined. ”
Netflix's statement looks like both confirmation and denial.
Previously, Huang Donghe had said that due to the pressure of filming the first season of "Squid Game", even tired of six teeth, it was impossible to shoot the second season in the short term, but from the current point of view, the second and even third seasons have been put on the agenda by Netflix, and it is even possible to shoot two seasons in a row. This is definitely great news for Squid Game fans.
Now, let's wait for the surprises of the new season of Squid Games!
