Hwang Dong-Hyuk, the creator of Squid Game, is working on a spoof called The Best Show on the Planet about the making of Netflix’s Squid Game, which became a global smash overnight.
Hwang highlighted that the project is still in its early stages, with little information available, but that the satirical comedy will be based on his personal experience of being forced into the spotlight.
Squid Game was without a doubt the biggest smash of 2021, hitting more than 100 million homes quicker than any other program and topping Netflix’s most-watched list in 94 countries at its peak.
Hwang is now working on three projects: The Best Show on the Planet, a feature film based on a novel by renowned Italian writer Umberto Eco, and the second season of Squid Game.
While the latter hasn’t been officially greenlit, Hwang is investing a lot of mental effort into planning it, generating concepts, and coming up with new games and characters. The release date for the second Squid Game Season 2 is set for Halloween 2024.
