- Squid Game’s creator is fed up of the Netflix show
- It is gearing up to release its second season on 26 December
- The series was a smash hit when it first debuted in 2021
Squid Game set all sorts of records when it first landed on Netflix in 2021.
With a cast of Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Wi Ha-joon and many more, the gory South Korean dystopian drama became one of the most streamed titles.
Waiting for the follow-up is nearly over as it is set to arrive on the service on 26 December.
Its creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, recently confessed that he can’t wait for it to end.
Why is Hwang Dong-Hyuk ‘so sick’ of Squid Game?
The creator of Squid Game admitted that he is looking forward to not having to deal with all the stress of a pre-release period. Like with any show, the lead-up has involved a lot of promo work like travel, red carpet walks, interactive experiences and so on.
Along with the hype, Hwang is excited about thinking about other things, like new projects and personal matters.
“I’m so exhausted. I’m so tired. In a way, I have to say, I’m so sick of Squid Game. I’m so sick of my life making something, promoting something. So I’m not thinking about my next project right now. I’m just thinking about going to some remote island and having my own free time without any phone calls from Netflix,” he told Variety.
Have we got any other hints about season 2?
Jung-jae – who plays the show’s leading character Seong Gi-hun – recently revealed something about what is to come. He promised the latest instalment is full of “twists and turns” and “psychological warfare”.

“So I can tell you for sure that you’re in for even more surprises, because there are games within games, and I call them psychological warfare,” Jung-jae told PEOPLE magazine.
He continued, “We have so much of them in season 1. So at one time, you’ll be enemies, the two will be enemies, and then the other time, they will be friends. So you don’t know what’s going to happen.”
“There’s so many twists and turns, so you’re in for a big surprise.”
