Recently, O Yeong-su, who plays the elderly Player 001 Oh Il-nam, became the first South Korean actor to win best supporting actor in a series, miniseries, or television film at this year’s Golden Globe Awards.
The Korean drama quickly becameNetflix’s biggest series debut, surpassingBridgerton’s previous viewershiprecordon the streaming platform.
In January, the streaming giant confirmed that there will be a second season ofSquid Game.
“If there were to be a season 2, in the first season that we saw Gi-hun is a character whose humanity is shown through or exposed in certain situations,” creator Dong-hyuk previously shared withEntertainment Weekly. “In other words, his humanity is shown through a very passive manner. But I would think that in the second season, what he has learned from the games and his experience in the first season, they will all be put to use in a more active manner.”
