Squid Game and thought, ‘Hey, I’d be good at that’, then now’s your chance to get in on the action. The South Korean survival drama achieved astronomical success following its release on Netflix in September 2021, recently making history with an incredible 14 Emmy nominations. Starring now award-winning actor Lee Jung-jae, who portrayed the main role of Player 456 Seong Gi-hun, the show pitted cash-strapped contestants against each other in violent reinterpretations of classic playground games.

Squid Game has suggested that Leonardo DiCaprio could be a part of the series one day, after the Inception star revealed he’s a huge fan of the show. Following the premiere of the South Korean drama last year, it went on to receive numerous recognitions, including 14 nominations at the recent Emmy Awards.

Hwang Dong-hyuk says there’s room in the future seasons of Squid Game for Leonardo DiCaprio to join in.

Major Hollywood actors including Leonardo DiCaprio will “probably” become part of Squid Game if there is a third season, according to the show’s Emmy-winning director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who said Netflix has upped budget for season two and he has now settled on the games.

Rebecca Souw Leonardo DiCaprio could be invited to join the cast of Netflix’s Emmy winning global smash hit “Squid Game” in a future season, series writer-director Hwang Dong-hyuk has said. At a Netflix-hosted congratulatory press conference in Seoul on Friday, when asked if any known Hollywood actor would star in “Squid Game” Season 2, Hwang said: “There will be no known Hollywood actor in Season 2. That’s not in the plan and if the stage changes, maybe in Season 3 – but for Season 2, it is still set in Korea. Leonardo DiCaprio did say he’s a big fan of ‘Squid Game,’ so maybe if time or chances allow, we can ask him to join the games.”

Moonhwa Ilbo reported that the second season of the hit Netflix series will implement a new mechanism for the games named Cheol-su, described to be the “boyfriend” of Young-hee, the iconic giant doll used in the ‘Red Light, Green Light’ game in the first season.Moonhwa Ilbo cited the reason behind the introduction of new mechanisms to creator Hwang Dong-hyuk’s resolve to come up with new games for the upcoming season, who was said to have “put a lot of effort” into devising the games and even “struggled” with selecting the final one.Filming for the hit Netflix series’ much-anticipated second season will begin in 2023, according to Moonhwa Ilbo, with an alleged release window for the new season being sometime at the end of 2024.The publication also reported on alleged new details of Squid Game 2, writing that the first season’s main character, Seong Gi-hoon (played by Lee Jung-jae), will continue to be the second season’s primary focus. Moonhwa Ilbo also alleged that the Frontman (played by Lee Byung-hun), as well as Gong Yoo’s cameo character, will be returning to the show.Reportedly, Squid Game 2 will also feature a new roster of characters, seeing as a majority of the participants and cast were killed off in the first season. However, Moonhwa Ilbo reported that actors Jung Ho-yeon (Kang Sae-byeok on the show) and Wi Ha-joon (detective Hwang Jun-ho) may have appearances in the upcoming sequel.Neither Netflix nor representatives from the Squid Game production team have responded to the reports as of writing.The news comes shortly after the show and its cast took home several historic wins at this year’s Emmy Awards, which were held earlier this week on September 12.

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has addressed concerns around the upcoming reality show based on the Netflix series.Netflix announced plans to adapt the survival drama, which follows contestants who take part in a series of life-threatening games to win a huge cash prize, into a reality show competition back in June.The show, titled Squid Game: The Challenge, will see contestants compete for a cash sum of $4.56million (£3.65million) in a series of games inspired by the show – without the violent stakes.When it was announced, many were quick to highlight that a Squid Game reality show goes against the point of the series – which, as Dong-hyuk has previously described, is a “fable about modern capitalist society”.Speaking backstage at the Emmys on Monday (September 12) about the reality series (via Variety), Dong-hyuk said he’d met with the creators and hoped “that they will be carrying on my vision and intention as much as possible”.“I think that even though our show does carry quite a heavy message – and I know that there are some concerns of taking that message and creating it into a reality show with a cash prize,” Dong-hyuk said.“However, I feel like when you take things too seriously, that’s really not the best way to go for the entertainment industry. It doesn’t really set a great precedent.”He added: “I would say that reproductions of such efforts are going to bring new meaning to the industry, and I hope that this is going to be a great new direction for the industry overall.”Squid Game: The Challenge is a 10-episode series co-produced between Studio Lambert (The Circle) and The Garden, part of ITV Studios, and will be filmed in the UK.

Ethan Shanfeld When Netflix announced it had greenlit a reality series based on the murderous competition in “Squid Game,” fans of the hit Korean show were quick to point out the irony in translating the tragic tale, which creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety is a “fable about modern capitalist society,” into reality TV. Now, Hwang is urging “Squid Game” fans not to “take things too seriously,” saying he has met with the creator of the reality spinoff, titled “Squid Game: The Challenge,” and hopes “they will be carrying on my vision and intention as much as possible for the show.” Hwang addressed the spinoff Monday night at the Emmys, where “Squid Game” made history — and scooped up a handful of awards in the process. Hwang won best directing for a drama series for the pilot episode, “Red Light, Green Light,” while star Lee Jung-Jae became the first Asian actor ever to win best actor in a drama.

Squid Game star Lee Jung-jae has made history by becoming the first Korean actor to win an Emmy award for Best Actor in a Drama. During Monday (12 September) night’s ceremony, the 49-year-old actor won the Emmy award for his lead role in the Korean-language series. “Thank you to the Television Academy, thank you to Netflix and thank you to the director for making realistic problems we all face come to life so creatively on the screen with a great script,” he said during his acceptance speech at the star-studded ceremony.
