Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed that he's already in talks with Netflix about season 3 of the hit show.
Though season 2 production of the show hasn't even started yet, Netflix seems keen to secure a third season of the show on paper already.
The gripping drama, which debuted on Netflix in September, follows a group of men and women who compete in a deadly competition in the hope of getting their hands on a hefty cash prize.
The show centers around a group of 456 people who risk their lives as part of a mysterious survival show in a bid to win $38,460,271.20 (₩45.6 billion).
The hugely popular series has become the most-watched show on Netflix in more than 90 countries since its release.
During an appearance on Korean broadcaster KBS, the director discussed the plot of Squid Game’s season two, while also hinting at a season three.
"I'm in talks with Netflix over season two as well as season three," Hwang said. "We will come to a conclusion soon."
"We are aware that everyone is waiting [for the next season to come out] so we're all trying to think positively about the creation of the next season," he added.
Speaking of the plot for season two, Hwang said: "The focus [of season two] will be the story of Seong Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) as he unravels everything.
"The plotline of season two will be the people Gi Hun meets and the people he chases after."
Dong-hyuk last month revealed that there will be a season 2 coming.
"So, there's been so much pressure, so much demand, and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice," he said.
"But, I will say there will indeed be a second season. It's in my head right now. I'm in the planning process currently. But I do think it's too early to say when and how that's going to happen."
Previously the creator spoke to The Guardian about his read on season 2, saying: "Of course there is talk".
"That's inevitable because it's been such a success. I am considering it. I have a very high-level picture in my mind, but I'm not going to work on it straight away. There's a film I really want to make. I'm thinking about which to do first. I'm going to talk to Netflix," he added.
