'Squid Game' has officially become the biggest TV series launch on Netflix.
Seventeen days in, 'Squid Game' has seen 111 million viewers across the world tune in.
To mark its success, creator of the show Hwang Dong-hyuk chatted to The Hollywood Reporter about the future of the series.
While season 2 of 'Squid Game' hasn't been officially confirmed, Dong-hyuk is not short on ideas of what could happen next.
Speaking of the show's finale, he says: "It’s true that season one ended in an open-ended way, but I actually thought that this could be good closure for the whole story, too.
"Season one ends with Gi-hun turning back and not getting on the plane to the States.
"And that was, in fact, my way of communicating the message that you should not be dragged along by the competitive flow of society, but that you should start thinking about who has created the whole system — and whether there is some potential for you to turn back and face it.
"So it’s not necessarily Gi-hun turning back to get revenge. It could actually be interpreted as him making a very on-the-spot eye contact with what is truly going on in the bigger picture.
"So I thought that might be a good, simple-but-ambiguous way to end the story for Gi-hun."
He continued, with regards to a second season of 'Squid Game': "But there are some other stories in the series that have not been addressed. For example, the story of the police officer and the story of his brother, the Front Man.
"So if I end up creating season two, I’d like to explore that storyline — what is going on between those two brothers?
"And then I could also go into the story of that recruiter in the suit who plays the game of ddakji with Gi-hun and gives him the card in the first episode.
"And, of course, we could go with Gi-hun’s story as he turns back, and explore more about how he’s going to navigate through his reckoning with the people who are designing the games."
He concluded: "So, I don’t know yet, but I’ll just say there are a lot of possibilities out there for season two storylines."
'Squid Game' is streaming on Netflix now.
