Hwang Dong-hyuk is about to make more money! Squid Game season 3 is already under negotiations. We don’t even have an announcement for a season 2 yet but we can’t blame Netflix. Netflix finds a gold mine with this show. Local groceries on my town sells Dalgona candies now because of this show’s impact. The actors from the show became instant international celebrities. It is not a Hate-watch show like Emily in Paris. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk had an interview with KBS that he already he is currently in talks with the biggest streaming platform for the future of the show. It is amazing how a Script he conceptualized a decade ago is achieved success beyond his imagination. Hwang Dong-hyuk have originally had no plans for a sequel and here he is now negotiating for a 3rd season! Other Netflix shows wait for a year before a renewal happens. There is no announcement for a Season 2 of Squid game yet but a Squid Game season 3 is now a possibility.

Squid Game is coming to Netflix this September 17 The Squid Game is South Korea’s very first Death Game drama. Death game is a genre of Thriller with elements of horror, action,suspense and a Game show. The biggest examples will be Alice in Borderland, Battle Royale,The Belko Experiment,The Running man and Hunger Games. Japan is more associated with this genre. I had seen Manga, Anime, and films that use the trope. The Death Game trope runs like a Gameshow or reality show but with death being the eliminator. The Squid Game is about 456 people who have financial problems like debt and bankruptcy. They accepted an invitation to play a game called The Squid Game. The winner is going to take home the ₩45.6 billion (US$40 million) prize. That prize is bigger than what the Amazing Race and Survivor offers. The Mechanics of the games sounds simple, These adults will have to play some traditional children’s games. Here is the catch though, losing the games will be worth the life
