“I’m in talks with Netflix over season 2 as well as season 3,” the 50-year-old said, according to Korea Times. “We will come to a conclusion any time soon”, reports people.com.

“It’s true that we are discussing a wide variety of possibilities for Squid Game, including the production of a Season 3, but nothing has yet been set in stone,” Netflix said a statement, obtained by TVLine.

‘Squid Game’ premiered on Netflix in September, earning praise from fans and critics alike. It also broke the record for the streaming service’s biggest series debut, surpassing Bridgerton’s previous record.

The Korean survival thriller follows a story of 456 individuals who have chosen to compete in a series of children’s games to win a $40 million cash prize, which would absolve their respective debts. But losing the games has deadly consequences for contestants.

Hwang previously said the show’s first season “could be good closure for the whole story,” though he recognized it “ended in an open-ended way.”

“There are some other stories in the series that have not been addressed. For example, the story of the police officer and the story of his brother, The Front Man,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in October.

“So if I end up creating season 2, I’d like to explore that storyline — what is going on between those two brothers? And then I could also go into the story of that recruiter in the suit who plays the game of ddakji with Gi-hun and gives him the card in the first episode.”

The director added, “And, of course, we could go with Gi-hun’s story as he turns back, and explore more about how he’s going to navigate through his reckoning with the people who are designing the games.”
