Fans of Squid Game had better not be holding their breath: creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has yet to write the script for season two and said Monday (April 4) it would likely not be released before late 2024.

"I have to work on season two. Hopefully I can show it to the fans by the end of 2024," the South Korean writer-director said at the MIPTV festival in Cannes in the south of France.
