The director and screenwriter speaks in fact of the possibility to continue the story of Seong Gi-Hun, winner of the games, who stays in Seoul to be able to understand who is really hiding behind it all. Furthermore, among the various ideas proposed, there is also that of deepening the stories of the policeman who sneaked in to look for his brother, or those of the man who first approached Gi-Hun, giving him the famous participation ticket.
The ideas are many for a possible Season 2 of Squid Game, many of which could come from the fans of the series themselves, to be able to bring them even closer to the show they loved so much. In fact, the director initially pointed out that the stress of filming, which cost him the loss of six teeth, prevents him from creating new ideas, but he is ready to do it if the public wants it.
