Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has dropped subtle hints about a potential fourth season of the show in the US. The creator spoke with Vanity Fair recently, but neither confirmed nor denied rumors of an English-language iteration of the game.
The final scene of Squid Game’s third season features Cate Blanchett appearing to recruit a man for a stateside version of the game, sparking speculation about her involvement and the possibility of a new series. However, Netflix has not made an official announcement regarding a fourth season or a plan to revive the show under David Fincher’s direction.
When asked by Vanity Fair if he had any information about the potential American spin-off, Hwang replied that nothing had been officially discussed with Netflix. He also mentioned that his interest in exploring themes of inequality and social hierarchy in Squid Game might be linked to an US-set season.
While there is no concrete confirmation from Netflix or the creator about a fourth season, Hwang’s comments suggest that the show may indeed expand its global reach. The creator has hinted at using the series to comment on the current state of capitalism and social inequality, which could provide a compelling narrative for an US-set iteration. However, given the recent controversies surrounding Squid Game, including on-set issues and disputes over prize money, it remains uncertain whether Netflix will pursue another season.
