Squid Game, which debuted on Netflix in 2021, resonated all over the world as soon as it was released and became one of the most popular productions of recent years. Work continued without slowing down for the second season of the production to be released in 2024.
While the release of the new season was eagerly awaited by the fans, now a very interesting claim has been made about the series. According to the allegation made by Jeff Sneider, known for his leaks from the industry, in the podcast program “The Hot Mic”, Netflix wants to make an American version of Squid Game.
It is among the allegations that Netflix wants to put the famous director David Fincher in charge of the American version of Squid Game.
“Do you really need it?” The claim that we cannot help but ask is not limited to this. According to Sneider, Netflix wants David Fincher, who has directed world-famous Seven, Fight Club, Gone Girl, Zodiac and many more, to produce and direct the series.
Sneider stated that it is not known for now whether Fincher has held any talks for the American version of Squid Game. On the other hand, many sources also claimed that Netflix wanted the three-Oscar-nominated director “too much.” Let’s emphasize that all of this is purely a rumor for now, and no official statement has been made.
Created and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game was about hundreds of money-strapped people taking part in a grand prize-winning competition of deadly children’s games.
Considering the popularity of Squid Game on the platform, making it one of the most-watched series of all time, it’s hardly surprising that Netflix is more likely to be clamoring for the series’ success. We’ve seen the platform remake existing successful shows for different markets before. For example, the company made a Korean version of the Spanish crime drama La casa de papel, which aired from 2017-2021, in 2022.
