Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is currently working on a brand-new satirical comedy based on his K-drama’s global success.Yesterday (May 19), Deadline reported that Hwang is currently in the early stages of developing a new satire about the creation of his hit Netflix series Squid Game, provisionally titled The Best Show On The Planet. The new series is said to be based on Hwang’s own personal experiences of being catapulted to global stardom with Squid Game’s instantaneous, viral success. However, as Deadline notes, there are “few details available to share” about the show at the moment.The Best Show On The Planet is now the third project Hwang is publicly known to be working on – following a “violent” new feature film titled Killing Old People Club inspired by the work of Italian novelist and philosopher Umberto Eco, as well as the highly-anticipated second season of Squid Game, currently scheduled for release in 2024.Teasing the new Squid Game season, Hwang said: “Humanity is going to be put to a test through those games once again.

Although a star for nearly 30 years in South Korean films, Lee Jung-Jae recently rocketed to international fame on a whole other level as the star of the television phenomenon, The Squid Game. All of that spotlight will add to interest in Hunt, which he not only stars, produces, co-wrote (with Jo Seung-Hee), but makes his feature film directorial debut, one that just had its World Premiere in the Midnight section of the Cannes Film Festival.

Don’t expect Scott Disick to be with the rest of the KarJenner crew as they take Italy in the near future to watch Kourtney Kardashian marry Travis Barker!
