Fans of Netflix’s new Squid Game may have more in store for them. According to a recent interview conducted by The Hollywood Reporter with Netflix’s Asia executive Minyoung Kim, not only is a second season of the show possible, but Netflix is also looking at the possibility of a video game adaptation.
The show, with its 111 million global views upon its debut (and crushing The Witcher‘s 76 million debut in the process), has already entered discussions for a second season. Not only that, but discussions have already involved the aforementioned video game. “We’ve been getting an overwhelming but happy volume of requests from [Netflix] — from the consumer product department, from the gaming group, from our other international teams,” explains Kim.
“We are looking at multiple different areas — from games, consumer product and others — to really figure out what we can bring to our audiences to increase their affinity toward our content and give them more joy, while staying true to the world that our creator [Hwang Dong-hyuk] has built.”
What makes this even more interesting is Netflix’s preliminary steps into video games, which apparently will be making its debut next year on the service. While obviously nothing is happening right now, could we be seeing a Netflix-exclusive Squid Game video game, or will Netflix license out the property?
