Read our privacy policy Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae has worried fans who are complaining a second season is “unnecessary”. Earlier this month, Netflix officially announced a follow-up to its most successful show would be happening, with CEO Ted Sarandos saying: “The Squid Game universe has just begun.” However, fans have expressed their concern that season two won’t match the quality of the original, which took the world by storm when it was released in September 2022, believing that it is merely an attempt to cash in on its huge success. In a feature after the season two announcement, The Gamer ran a feature headlined: “Squid Game Season 2 And The Curse Of Unnecessary Sequels” following which many fans concluded on social media that the show should have been left as a one-season wonder. You want the whole package at once, so I’m just waiting for director Hwang to give me the whole scenario, and I’m really excited for it.” ‘Squid Game’ fans worry that a second season is ‘unnecessary’ Lee confirmed at that Hwang “has a lot of different ideas” and hasn’t actually mapped out a story.
