As many could imagine, the show was difficult to make, and Hwang Dong Hyuk is not eager to repeat the process.
In my earlier days, I’d drink half a bottle of soju to get the creative juices flowing. I can’t do that anymore… Writing (‘Squid Game’) was harder than normal for me as it was a series, not a film. It took me six months to write and rewrite the first two episodes. Then I consulted verbally with friends, and picked up clues for improvements through my own pitching and from their responses.

While some may worry that this spells the end for the beloved series, the exhausted director revealed that he’d be willing to return to the show… if the conditions were right.
I don’t have well-developed plans for ‘Squid Game 2.’ It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers’ room and would want multiple experienced directors.
