With an open-ended finale of season 1, fans were sure of Netflix treating them to a sequel. But conversations around season 3 being a stretch have also begun.

Squid Game took the world by storm as the K-drama dealt with complex layers of class, greed, and struggle, twisting it in a child’s play offering a balance of thrill and wit.

The Korean drama even shattered many records and won a Breakthrough series at Gotham Awards, the first for a Korean drama to win a major US award show.
