\u201cSeason 1 was just too successful not to feel pressured by it,\u201d he tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nonetheless, delving into the (pretty grim) world of his creation in the process of writing the next season provides some relief.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen I am actually writing the script, I really immerse myself in that world I created, and it feels less daunting to me,\u201d he says. \u201cOnce I sit in front of my laptop, I become part of the world that I created and I totally forget about the real world that I\u2019m in.\u201d<\/p>\n When it comes to the second season, Hwang says he doesn\u2019t want the creative direction to be a response to the reactions to the first.<\/p>\n Hinting at what fans can expect from the new episodes, he says: \u201cThe philosophies I put in season one all naturally extend to season 2.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of trying to meet the expectations of viewers, I just thought about the last moment when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane, and I thought about what he will do next.<\/p> \u201cThere will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season,\u201d he continues. \u201cI can\u2019t share any details yet, but you know that Seong Gi-hun has become a totally new person by the end of season 1, so season 2 is going to be about what that new Gi-hun is going to do and how things will unfold with this new kind of character.\u201d<\/p>\n Book Squid Game immersive experience tickets from \u00a326 at Immersive Gamebox<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Squid Game is now available to watch on Netflix.
