After the excitement from season 2 of Squid Game, fans can also look forward to the third season. The second season picked up where the first left off, following a group of financially struggling individuals who are invited to participate in a deadly survival game. The prize? A staggering 45.6 billion South Korean won, which converts to approximately $31.42 million in USD, according to Screen Rant.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk previously shared with Forbes, “I wrote seasons two and three at the same time, and we were in production for both simultaneously, and currently we are in the post-production process for season three.” He added, “When I was writing the script for the two seasons, I felt like there was a big turning point or an inflection point, and that was the end of episode seven, so I thought that it would do it justice to have a separate season after that. That’s why I had first seven episodes as season two and then the rest of season three.”
