According to Screenrant, a new Squid Game spinoff series has been recently reported to be in development and will be done by David Fincher (Fight Club), and this comes ahead of the upcoming second season of the Netflix series. The upcoming series project is scheduled to premiere on the streaming platform sometime in 2025 and will be the first scripted offshoot since the reality series Squid Game: Challenge. The popular Korean drama series has captured the world with its unique concept of using children’s games such as Red Light, Green Light, and Tug of War to turn them violent.
Fincher’s involvement promises to elevate the series to new heights of darkness and psychological intensity.According to Screenrant, this new spinoff could change everything the audience will know about the world of Squid Game and potentially connect to the original series, with character cameos from the original series, such as Lee Jung-jae (The Acolyte) as Song Gi-hun. The plot of the spinoff remains under wraps, but this report has shown that there will be more beyond the original series and that it will continue after its announced third season.
According to Screenrant, the idea for the English-speaking spinoff series has perplexed viewers, who don’t want the series to stray away from the premise of the franchise. However, development is still in the early stages, and further information could be provided down the road. With Fincher at the helm of the series, viewers can expect to see spectacular visuals and narratives that are anticipated to be as intense as the original.
While the audience awaits news on the spinoff’s progression and whether it will become reality, the entire first season of Squid Game is available to stream on Netflix. Viewers can also watch the reality TV show Squid Game: The Challenge on Netflix, which showcases real-life participants completing the same challenges on the show.
