“Squid Game” became a mega hit on Netflix in the fall of 2021. There must be a refill. But until we get that, it will take a lot longer than you think.
Netflix
If a series debut is as successful as "Squid Game", then the logic of a broadcaster or service Streaming must be to replenish it quickly. And the South Korean series has not only been a hit, but is a global megahit and, according to Netflix itself, by far the most-watched production on the service. Streaming.
According to the laws of the series market, the ideal would be to release a second season one year after the first season. Writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk made it clear early on that such a schedule was unrealistic for "Squid Game." But how long that should take should sober many fans.
Season 2 of “Squid Game”: Not before the end of 2024 on Netflix
During the MipTV series exhibition, which was held in Cannes the first week of April, Hwang Dong-hyuk also talked about his schedule for “Squid Game” (via Variety): There the author stated that he had currently hope that the second season will be available in Streaming on Netflix at the end of 2024. The second season would not appear until three years after the first season.
It is definitely a risk. In three years, especially in the era of Streaming, there are so many new series vying to grab the attention of audiences who might overlook “Squid Game”. on the other hand Of course, Hwang also has the opportunity and especially the time to think about a very good second season and not to throw a hasty blow. The author also revealed that he hasn't started writing the scripts yet.
A brutal film before season 2
Another reason for the waiting time is that Hwang Dong-hyuk wants to pursue other ideas. He revealed that he was working on a movie called Killing Old People Club. The project will be “even more brutal” than “Squid Game” and “another of his controversial works”. He also fears having to hide from the elderly as soon as the film is released.
With the title, it allows at least to draw a small conclusion on the story. We are sure that the title of the film is to be taken at face value and that a few people could form a club with the aim of eliminating the elderly.
