“There will be more great games, that’s all I can say.” Dong-Hyuk said. “I’m just still brainstorming and collecting the ideas for Season 2. I haven’t even started with the writing yet.”

Asked if there will be flashbacks? Are those Season 1 characters gone forever and can we expect to see some cast members coming back somehow, Hwang dropped a few hints.

“No, because most of them are dead,” Hwang said with a laugh. “I’ll try something to bring them back to Season 2.”

Gesturing beside him on the red carpet to Hoyeon Jung, who plays Kang Sae-byeok in ‘Squid Game’ Season 1, he said: “Let’s say maybe she has a twin sister, you’ll see.”

Hoyeon laughed and said: “I could change my hair colour. Let’s do a little like plastic surgery.”

Asked whether he had been surprised by the show’s runaway success, Hwang added: “Yeah in a way because who can expect this kind of success. I tried hard to make a successful show, but I never expected this much success. It’s a surprise.”

The show won three SAG Awards this year, and since its September 17, 2021, release, ‘Squid Game’ has become the most-watched Netflix content ever.
