The Squid Game, the series created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, hit the streaming platform Netflix on the last September 17, 2021 and it was not long before it became a worldwide success. Not only did it break all records, but it also became the most watched show in the history of the red giant.
Its success lies in the energetic story, the charismatic characters, the adrenaline of the lethal games and the message against the wildest capitalism. During its nine chapters, the law to follow in fiction was the survival of the fittest, which left thousands of users around the world speechless.

Now, fans are waiting for the second season of Squid game, but the streaming service has yet to renew the show despite its success. In an interview for The Guardian, the creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, noted the following:
“I am not that rich. But I have enough. I have enough to put food on the table. And it’s not like Netflix is paying me a bonus. Netflix paid me according to the original contract. When I was working on the project, the goal was to rank # 1 on Netflix’s US chart for at least a day. But it ended up being much more successful, the most watched show on Netflix, “he told the outlet.

What are the odds of a second season for The Squid Game?
In a past interview with Variety, the creator of the series, Hwang Dong-hyuk indicated that, to the surprise of Netflix users, he did not plan to make a continuation for his story.
“I don’t have well-developed plans for Squid game 2 (…) It’s quite exhausting to think about it now. But if he had to, he certainly wouldn’t do it alone. I would consider using a writers’ lounge and I would want several experienced directors to continue the plot, ”he added.
