Although the Cinematic Universe, as laid out above, isn’t real, Netflix is certainly not done with Squid Game – not by a long shot. With Season 3 now in the rearview mirror, Squid Game has two official ongoing projects and one that’s still in active development but not yet officially confirmed by Netflix. Let’s break them down:

An update on Squid Game's future beyond season 3 and whether the surprise Hollywood A-lister cameo will lead to an American remake has come to light.

For what it's worth, Hwang has confirmed that the American Recruiter was not shown primarily to set up a future spinoff. Instead, the cameo was meant to show that the end of the Korean game did not mean the end of the societal problems that brought it about.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hwang said he originally wrote an ending where Player 456, Seong Gi-hun, leaves the deadly games behind for good. That's a huge contrast to the version that actually aired, in which Gi-hun sacrifices his life in the end for the new Player 222.

The actor who plays the mother to the youngest-ever player in the deadly Games speaks to THR about the Netflix series' final season's gut-wrenching twist.

Squid Game killed off Seong gi-hun in the final season, perfectly concluding his character arc, even though few shows are willing to take that risk.
