Squid Game season 4: Creator on future series involvement

We are well-aware that as of this writing, there is no renewal for a Squid Game season 4 — as a matter of fact, it is unlikely. The third season is meant to be the final one! Gi-hun’s story is clearly at an end, though you can argue that the Cate Blanchett cameo absolutely does leave the door open for an American spin-off. Meanwhile, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has indicated that he could do a prequel, perhaps set between the first and second season focused on other characters.

For now, it appears as though Hwang is keeping a lot of opportunities open — so much will depend on both the story and what Netflix wants.

Speaking to Variety, the writer / director noted that his future involvement in the franchise would be based on a number of factors:

It would depend on what kind of show. If they wanted to do a following season, then I think it’s obvious I would have to participate and lead. But if it’s the U.S. version that they’re making, I think sharing of ideas would be enough. I have no intention of being completely hands-on in a project like that. Having said that, if Netflix asks and if I feel like my contribution is needed, then as long as it’s not something that would interfere with whatever I’m working on at that time, I would be happy to provide what they need from me.

Given that there are rumors of a US version led by David Fincher in some capacity, you could argue that Hwang could be involved there as an executive producer or at least a consultant — we tend to think that if nothing else, his knowledge about the overall world would be invaluable. So much would just be based there on what exactly Netflix wants to do.
