'I have a deadline to finish writing season 2 of Squid Game by the end of this year or early next year,' he told The Hollywood Reporter. Netflix hasn't officially confirmed when the second season will hit the streaming service, but Dong-hyuk revealed just how long he's been working on the highly-anticipated follow-up season. Squid Game was named for a record-breaking 14 nominations, the most ever for a non-English language series, and took home six Emmys total.

Hwang Dong-Hyuk accepted the award for Outstanding Director for a Drama Series, becoming the first Asian director to do so. Later that night, Lee Jung-Jae became the first Asian actor to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Lee Jung-Jae good-naturedly joked that he won't be able to elaborate any further until he sees the season 2 script. I can't share any details yet, but you know that Seong Gi-hun has become a totally new person by the end of season 1, so season 2 is going to be about what that new Gi-hun is going to do and how things will unfold with this new kind of character.' Even though Gi-hun won the game and made it out alive, he's only just begun to process the trauma of what he did to survive.ĭuring a red carpet interview with Deadlineat the 2022 Emmys, Hwang Dong-Hyuk explained that Lee Jung-Jae's character Gi-hun is going to be seeking revenge, coming back as a character that is more serious than he ever was in the first season. 'There will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season. While Dong-hyuk didn't give any spoilers, he dropped some hints about what the new season will be about. Instead of trying to meet the expectations of the viewers, I just thought about the last moment when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane, and I thought about what he will do next.' 'The philosophies I put in season 1 all naturally extend to season 2. 'I've seen many reactions from people about the show, but I don't want to make season 2 as a response to those actions,' he began.

Hwang Dong-hyuk opened to The Hollywood Reporter about the messages he hopes to convey in Squid Game season 2.
