Read our privacy policy Squid Game director Hwang Dong-hyuk told Entertainment Weekly: “The story that I both wanted to tell and that I am capable of telling through Gi-hun, it has been told with season three." “ Even this seems an understatement, as the director has previously described how he lost six teeth due to stress during the production of Squid Game season one. "And I got to thinking about creating seasons two and three, firstly because of the huge success of season one as well as there being just so much anticipation and expectation for the story to further develop by the fans.” Hwang Dong-hyuk Both fans and critics alike have held the show’s first season in high esteem. "The desire to put a closure to the story that I began to tell arose after we worked on season one.” Continuing that: "In terms of why did I decide to end the story with season three, I think that the story I wanted to tell came to a full closure at the end of season three.” Squid Game season two premiers 26 December on Netflix.
