“Once you watch the new season, you’ll see that Season 4 could be possible—but you might also feel like it doesn’t need to be made. That said, it’s not that I’ve ruled out returning to Squid Game forever. My next project is already taking shape in my mind as a film, so I don’t have any immediate plans to follow up Squid Game with another season. But if the opportunity arises, I’m open to doing a spinoff.” – Squid Game Director Hwang Dong-Hyuk
