‘Squid Game’ creator ‘expected’ no awards for season 2
‘Squid Game’ director explains why he has little hope for any award for S2
In the award season, the Squid Game maker Hwang Dong Hyuk says he has no expectations that season two would win any trophy.
His reaction came after the series was nominated at the 2025 Golden Globes.
“To be honest, I didn’t have any expectations for awards regarding Season 2 when I decided to divide it into two parts—Seasons 2 and 3,” he shared.
“Since the story isn’t complete and the message I wanted to convey hasn’t been fully revealed, I thought it would be difficult to win an award in this state,” the filmmaker told The Hollywood Reporter.
“To receive such recognition, the story needs to be delivered in its entirety, and that hasn’t happened yet. So, I wasn’t expecting anything at all,” the director added.
In other news, Hwang also shared the expected release of season three. “I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year,” he told Variety.
He also previously told Retuers that the upcoming season is also in post-production. Netflix also confirmed that the season three will arrive in 2025.
