Season 2 of Squid Game left fans on a major cliffhanger, and now, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk explains why the story was split between two seasons.
Originally envisioned as a single series, the story grew too detailed to fit into one season.
The shift in focus to Gi-hun’s revolt and its dramatic failure became a crucial part of his character arc, which would continue in Season 3.
Why Split the Story?
Dong-hyuk felt that ending Season 2 at the moment of Gi-hun’s failure would allow for a deeper character exploration in Season 3.
The failure, paired with the immense guilt Gi-hun experiences, sets up a new arc that fans can look forward to in the next season.
What’s Next for Gi-hun?
After everything Gi-hun has been through, the prospect of another emotional journey is both intriguing and painful.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the second half of the deadly games and the next phase of Gi-hun’s character development.
With Season 3 expected in 2025, anticipation is building for what promises to be another intense and heartbreaking chapter.
