Netflix has yet to officially renew it.

But Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the creator of the hit series

Squid Game

, confirmed that she would indeed be entitled to a season 2. And in this new burst of episodes, Seong Gi-hun, the winner of the competition bloody, could switch to the dark side of the force.

If in season 1, the protagonist's humanity is seen "through certain situations" and "in a passive way", this will not be the case afterwards, explained the South Korean screenwriter on Tuesday to Entertainment Weekly, during a virtual panel.

“I think in the second season what he learned through the games will be used in a more proactive way.

And at the same time, as far as the masked agent is concerned, the latter became like Darth Vader, even though he had won the game. Some end up as Jedi and others as Darth Vader.

I think Seong Gi-hun will perhaps reach a critical point and will have to face the same kind of test, ”he explained to the American magazine.
