Netflix's Squid Game is easily one of the biggest surprise hits on the streaming platform. While the series saw the streaming giant put in a tremendous amount of marketing effort before its arrival, no one could have anticipated Squid Game to set a new record and become the biggest launch on Netflix of all time. Due to its popularity, most audiences believed that a second season was pretty much guaranteed already.
Despite initial reports confirming that Netflix had already greenlit Squid Game's second season, it appears that this isn't the case just yet.
When is Netflix going to renew Squid Game for a second season?
Squid Game's director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, explained in a Vulture interview that the confusion resulted from a mistranslated Associated Press interview. The director pointed out how the news agency mistranslated his words in the subtitles, changing what he said from "I think there will indeed be a Season 2" to "I will say there will indeed be a second season."
