Korean film creator and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has disclosed new plot details about the show’s highly anticipated season two.
In an exclusive interview with “The Hollywood Reporter”, the film creator revealed that contrary to fans’ expectations, the season would be a natural evolution from where the story stopped in season one.
“I’ve seen many reactions from people about the show, but I don’t want to make season two as a response to those reactions.
“The philosophies I put in season one all naturally extend to season two. Instead of trying to meet the expectations of 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.
“There will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season. 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 one, so season two 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”, Dong-hyuk said.
Released in 2021, ‘Squid Game’ hit 1.65 billons views hours after its release. The creators have since then promised a season two.
