According to indiscretions, Netflix is still preparing a huge surprise for Squid Game which will not please everyone. One of Hollywood’s best directors could tackle the phenomenon.
Squid Game season 2 will be available on Netflix from December 2024. At least that’s what Lee Jung-Jae, the main actor who plays the character of Seong Gi-hun, had said without batting an eyelid. “It will be available in December” he told Business Insider. For its part, the firm with the red N was content with a vague “second half of 2024”. We will wait for official confirmation in the coming months, but another rather special project is making headlines again. Maybe you’ll rewatch season 1 from a different perspective…
A new version of Squid Game
Season 2 of Squid Game is coming soon, and it should be very eventful. If we rely on the first video teaser, revenge will be at the heart of the new episodes. An element also confirmed by actor Lee Jung-Jae, who should do everything to find the author of the deadly games and make him pay for his disastrous invention. And unfortunately these are the only bits of information shared, because Netflix has not yet revealed the official synopsis. At the same time, it is rumored that a remake of Squid Game is in the works. Already ? It would seem good. According to journalist Jeff Sneider’s sources, David Fincher would be attached to the project. “ David Fincher is quietly working on Squid Game » he said several months ago.
In the meantime, this rumor has been denied by Ted Sarandos, the CEO of Netflix. “Since the original series is still ongoing, there is no valid reason for Netflix to do a remake” (via ScreenRant). But according to the site ThePlaylist, Squid Game Remake would indeed be a reality and David Fincher (The Killer, Seven) would even have recruited Denis Kelly. The author of the critically acclaimed British series Utopia. However, vagueness seems to reign over this American rereading of the South Korean phenomenon. The director of Seven should at least be the producer, if not the director now that he’s canned the Chinatown series for Netflix.
A credible rumor?
Is this umpteenth rumor around Squid Game Remake plausible? As explained by Ted Sarandos, timing does not work in favor of this rumor. But after all, Hollywood has never been shy about ordering American versions of foreign films or series without worrying about any delays. And what can still corroborate this rumor is the fact that David Fincher will continue to collaborate with the SVOD platform on projects not yet announced – apart from the prequel series to Chinatown. If a remake, this early in the life of the series, is confirmed, it will certainly divide. Especially since rereadings of this type are not always well received by the public. However, the participation of Denis Kelly and Fincher are strong arguments on paper. So see.
