Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed he\u2019s working hard on ideas for the second season of the mega hit drama \u2013 and has even joked he could bring back one actor as a twin of their original character.<\/p>\n
Speaking to Deadline<\/a> at last night\u2019s PGA Awards Ceremony, Hwang explained that although the writing process for the follow-up season hadn\u2019t yet begun he had been very busy brainstorming.<\/p>\n \u201cThere will be more great games, that\u2019s all I can say,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m just still brainstorming and collecting the ideas for Season 2. I haven\u2019t even started with the writing yet.\u201d<\/p>\n And asked if there was any chance some popular characters such as Kang Sae-byeok (played by HoYeon Jung) might return even though they had been killed off in the original run, Hwang added, \u201cI\u2019ll try something to bring them back to Season 2.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s say maybe she has a twin sister, you\u2019ll see,\u201d he joked.<\/p> Hwang originally confirmed that the series had been renewed for another season<\/a> back in November 2021 \u2013 with the news coming as no great shock given the monumental success of the record-breaking first run.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s been so much pressure, so much demand, and so much love for a second season,\u201d he said at the time. \u201cSo I almost feel like you leave us no choice. But I will say: there will indeed be a second season.\u201d<\/p>\n Since then he\u2019s been coy about what the new season might entail, although he did hint in December that the show could take an even darker twist<\/a>.<\/p>\n Speaking to Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, he teased that protagonist Gi-hun may find himself having to make a tricky choice between good and evil, using a Star Wars analogy to make his point.<\/p>\n \u201cAs for the Front Man [Lee Byung-hun], who was also a past winner but became a Front Man, it\u2019s like Darth Vader. Some end up Jedi and some become Darth Vader, right?\u201d<\/p>\n He added: \u201cI think that maybe Gi-hun will go through a certain critical point where he is put through a test as well.\u201d<\/p>\n The latest issue of Radio Times is on sale now \u2013\u00a0subscribe now<\/a>\u00a0to get each issue delivered to your door.
