Stills from Squid Games
Recently, streaming media Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos confirmed that its hit drama "Squid Game" will launch a second season, and the actor Lee Jeong-jae will return to star. Ted Sarandos said: "The 'Squid' universe has only just begun. "There's going to be more.
Ted Sarandos also said that he believes that one of the reasons for the success of the show is that "[Netflix's] Korean team did not deliberately make the show 'different' in order to make it spread to the world, but to find the characteristics of Korean movies and Korean dramas, and build them in a new way and the level of production value, not to say 'what we used to teach Koreans to do well'." There is a big market for that kind of content, the world has always had curiosity, and the Korean drama market has achieved a lot of success in the world, but we have made it easy to spread and pushed it into the mainstream. ”
Previously, when Lee Jeong-jae was asked about the progress of the second season of "Squid Game" at a variety event, Lee Jeong-jae revealed that Hwang Dong-hyuk was writing the script for the second season. Presumably, it will take at least a year or more to see the second season of Squid Games from the completion of the script to the completion of filming and production.
"Squid Game" director Hwang Dong-hyuk previously said that the second season will also revolve around Lee Jeong-jae's role of Sung Ki-hoon, focusing on the people he met after the game, as well as the personnel who decrypted the mysterious organization, etc., which makes people very curious about what kind of story will be extended.
