“I felt the pressure for another season-long before I arrived in Los Angeles. We get on YouTube and see people that have already written season two and season three for us. Coming here and seeing how well-received the show and how much the fans want it, I have been getting the same question by the press as well.” added Hwang.

Netflix spokesperson said to Hollywood Reporter that a second season is in discussion but not confirmed yet.

However, until now, the creator didn’t disclose the details but hints that Gi-hun will be back and will do something for the world.

Commenting for season2, Lee, who plays the lead character Seong Gi-Hun asserted, “There is no secret to not spoiling what’s to come because I don’t even know what’s going to happen.”

The Korean series ‘Squid Game’ is about 456 people lured into playing deadly versions of children’s games to win a tempting prize. However, the contestant further came to know that their lives are at stake as the competition has deadly consequences.
