“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice!” Hwang told the Associated Press on the red carpet for a "Squid Game" screening and Q&A in L.A. bit.ly/3bTFvAj

“But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently," Hwang added. bit.ly/3bTFvAj

Hwang tempered expectations by saying it’s too early to give any concrete details about the follow-up to the hit, and Netflix hasn’t made any official announcement yet. Hwang did say, though, that Lee Jung-jae will return as main character Seong Gi-hun. bit.ly/3bTFvAj

“I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world,” Hwang said. bit.ly/3bTFvAj

As of last week, "Squid Game" has already racked up more than 3 billion minutes watched, according to Nielsen, and it’s projected to make Netflix $891 million in value, according to leaked internal documents acquired by Bloomberg. bit.ly/3bTFvAj
