Squid Game's ending satisfied most viewers. If it didn't, then how else do you explain Netflix's latest hit series becoming its biggest-ever series launch? The fan-favorite show climbed the charts in no time following its September 2021 release. However, as it turns out, the series creator, writer, and director, actually had different plans for how the first (and so far only) season of Squid Game ended.
What was the alternative ending of the first Squid Game season?
We say the first season of Squid Game because Hwang Dong-hyuk just confirmed that Season 2 of the drama-thriller series is already in development.
If you've been living under a rock for the past two months, let us give you a quick summary of what Squid Game is all about. Although the series doesn't exactly revolve around just one person, the primary star is Lee Jung-jae's Seong-Gi-hun, otherwise known as No. 456. A gambling addict estranged from his family, No. 456 joins a game of survival in a bid to solve his crippling debt problem and earn enough money to see her daughter who his ex-wife is taking to the United States.
