The squid game became Netflix’s biggest hit. Although many thought that the decision to make a third season was in the hands of the streaming giant, Everything indicates that it comes from the creator of this series, who saved the end of the second season.
In a recent interview with Variety, Hwang Dong-hyuk, its creator The squid game He noted that the second season finale was made as a point that would lead into the third season, Something that the writers and director had in mind when formulating the second season. Here’s what he said about it:
“When I first wrote the story for seasons two and three, it was a long story arc. And I was originally planning to write this story over a span of about eight to nine episodes, but once I finished the story it came to over 10 episodes, which I thought was too long to contain in one season.
I wanted to have an exact point where I could stop it like the second season and then move on to the third. When you think about Gi-hoon’s journey, I thought it was a good time to stop and give some closure to that long story arc. And then from that moment on, in the third season, a sense of overwhelming guilt and failure weighs heavily on him: ‘How will Gi-hoon continue his mission?’ That story will develop later.”
