'Squid Game' creator/writer/director Hwang Dong-hyuk reveals why the show will end with season 3. Plus, he reveals what he thought of all the new games created in Netflix's reality show spinoff, 'Squid Game: The Challenge.'
Sydney Bucksbaum is a writer at Entertainment Weekly covering all things pop culture – but TV is her one true love. She currently lives in Los Angeles but grew up in Chicago so please don't make fun of her accent when it slips out."Honestly, when I was first working on the first season, I didn't have any plans or thoughts about there ever being further seasons," Hwang says.
"Honestly speaking, I didn't get a chance to watch all of the episodes, but I did pay a visit to one of the sets," Hwang says of the reality show. "I know that the games that we used in season 1, they're not really fit to be played in a reality show, so when I saw the games that were played, I thought they were quite well thought-out in terms of their creativity and their practicality.
