It looks like many more competitors will have to endure the Squid Game ordeal — because Netflix has not only confirmed a second season but also teased big future plans for the hit Korean show.
Ted Sarandos, the company's co-CEO and chief content officer, effectively guaranteed a new series during Netflix's fourth-quarter earnings call for investors and analysts. “Absolutely,” Sarandos is quoted (via The Verge) as saying in response to a question about whether Squid Game would get a second season. He then followed up with the intriguing statement that “The Squid Game universe has just begun.”
The first bit isn't a big surprise, as Squid Game's creator and writer, Hwang Dong-hyuk, had already revealed that he was working on a second season. But what Sarandos' second statement adds is the suggestion that Netflix, understandably, intends to continue the series beyond that point. You could even read his words as implying that Netflix could expand the scope of Squid Game content into entirely new areas.
