So did you hear that talks are underway for the third season of Hwang Dong-hyuk's global series blockbuster Squid Game? Pretty exciting, right? Wait, what's that? You didn't know a green light had been given for a second season yet? Oh, it hasn't. Which is what makes this news even more fun (and gives us a glimpse into what Netflix might announce before the end of this year). Speaking with the Korea Times, Dong-hyuk made some news when he had this to say about the show's future: "I'm in talks with Netflix over season two as well as season three. We will come to a conclusion any time soon." The nine-episode series focuses on 456 desperate contestants who compete with each other in a mysterious and deadly survival game involving multiple rounds of childhood games to win 45.6 billion in prize money that can pull them out of their financial misery. Dong-hyuk's comments are the first time that serious discussions beyond a second season were confirmed, with the majority of the media's attention on is a second season would be in play.
