During Netflix’s fourth-quarter earnings call (via Deadline), Netflix co-CEO and chief content officer Ted Sarandos has finally confirmed that creator Hwang Dong-hyuk’s hit South Korean thriller Squid Game will “absolutely,” be back for a second season.
Squid Game hails from writer-director Hwang Dong-Hyuk, who is best known for his works on South Korean films as The Fortress, Miss Granny, and Silenced.
Currently, Squid Game has now become Netflix’s biggest original series launch of all time.
Even though the renewal has already been previously teased by Hwang, this marks the first time that the streamer has officially addressed it.
