The second season of Netflix’s megahit South Korean TV series Squid Game is officially confirmed. Co-chief executive officer and chief content officer for the streaming service Ted Sarandos confirmed the same during Netflix’s fourth-quarter interview as per Variety.
When asked whether it is in the pipeline, he replied, “Absolutely. The ‘Squid Game’ universe has just begun.”
The show was interpreted as a trenchant critique of modern capitalistic societies and that economic mobility was just a myth perpetuated by the moneyed classes.
In any case, the series became a phenomenon. It remains Netflix’s most-watched series with an incredible 1.65 billion viewing hours after four weeks of its launch, beating Bridgerton’s 625.5 million hours by a huge margin.
Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon, HoYeon Jung, O Yeong-su, Heo Sung-tae, Anupam Tripathi, and Kim Joo-ryoung. were part of the show’s cast.
O Yeong-su won the Golden Globe in the Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film category earlier this month.
