The globally acclaimed South Korean survival drama "Squid Game" on Netflix, which had previously been rumored to be expanding its universe with a new English-language series, has now been officially confirmed by foreign media reports.
According to these reports, Netflix has begun preparations for this English version of "Squid Game." As previously rumored, acclaimed director David Fincher, known for helming "Fight Club" and "Seven," is attached to develop the project. Dennis Kelly, writer for the series "Utopia," will pen the script. Specific details about the series remain scarce, though it is understood the story will likely be set in the United States.
Ever since the South Korean series "Squid Game" became a global phenomenon and garnered multiple Emmy Awards, Netflix has expressed a strong interest in further expanding its universe. Notably, director David Fincher was previously developing a prequel series for "Chinatown" but has reportedly put that project on hold to focus on the English-language "Squid Game."
