So, you’ve binged through all the seasons of Squid Game on Netflix. You’re left with that burning question – what’s next? Well, hold onto your seats because it seems like the world of Squid Game might just be getting bigger! Let’s dive into the whirlwind of potential spinoffs that could grace our screens in the coming years.
First up, we have the tantalizing idea of a prequel from none other than Hwang Dong-hyuk himself, the brilliant mind behind Squid Game. In an interview with EW, he revealed his vision for a spinoff exploring the mysterious three-year gap between season 1 and 2. Imagine delving into the lives of recruiters, Captain Park, and masked men beyond the confines of the deadly games. As Hwang puts it,
“maybe I could have a portrayal… their life outside of that.”
It’s a bold move to shift focus away from the game itself, but hey, when Hwang speaks, Netflix listens!
But wait, there’s more! Despite hints at exhaustion from working on the series (and yes, even stories about teeth lost to stress), Hwang isn’t closing doors on sequels or spinoffs entirely. As he cryptically puts it: “never say never.” Could this mean that we might see a sequel unraveling after that heart-stopping finale?
Now let’s talk about something intriguing – Squid Game America. Yes, you heard it right! The buzz around an American spinoff has been floating around for some time now. With David Fincher linked to this project and Cate Blanchett making an appearance as an American recruiter in season 3’s finale – speculation is rife. While Hwang clarifies that Blanchett’s role wasn’t necessarily paving the way for an American version, rumors are swirling nonetheless.
And last but definitely not least is The Front Man himself – Lee Byung-hun chiming in on a potential spinoff focusing on his character. In an interview with THR, he sheds light on how both he and Director Hwang toyed with ideas for a Front Man-centric story since day one. Exploring his murky backstory and enigmatic character further could open up a treasure trove of storytelling possibilities.
With Lee Byung-hun expressing willingness to delve deeper into The Front Man’s narrative canvas post-season 3 – fans can’t help but speculate about where his character arc might lead next. Will we witness a prequel shedding light on his past victories? Or perhaps witness him make a grand return in a sequel show? The possibilities are endless!
As Netflix gears up to expand its Squid Game universe, one thing is clear – fans are hungry for more nail-biting drama and unexpected twists! So buckle up because it seems like we’re far from saying goodbye to this riveting world created by Hwang Dong-hyuk.
