Squid Game Season 1 cost showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk blood, sweat, and tears — literally. All 13 episodes were all filmed in one batch, but last summer Netflix announced it would split the episodes into Season 2 and Season 3, released seven months apart. But the problem with the back half of a Squid Game is that not all of our favorite characters can reach the end. Netflix isn’t nearly done with Squid Game: the streamer has already released a reality competition show spinoff, and David Fincher is making an English language series instead of, apparently, directing the Social Network sequel. Squid Game Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
