If you've watched the whole show (remember that spoiler warning above), you know the game doesn't really end with the ninth episode. It continues, and the future of "winner" Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) is left uncertain. Will we ever know what happens after he gets off that plane? The answer is a resounding... probably. In a red carpet interview on Nov. 9, writer/director Hwang Dong-hyuk said season 2 is indeed happening. "You leave us no choice," he joked.

3. Was Squid Game based on a book?
It certainly seems like Squid Game would make a great novel or graphic novel. But right now, you can't go to your bookstore and scoop up a Squid Game book to read.
And it might not even be a single comic, because [url=]the director told the Korea Herald that he "read a lot of comics, and was mesmerized by survival games." So until Hwang comes out and names some of his reading material, guesses are all we have. It seems likely that Squid Game will now be turned into book form, since it's such a hit. Keep an eye on those bookstore shelves.
Obviously there's no deadly Squid Game tournament, where people are killed playing innocent children's games. We hope. But the title refers to one specific game that gets its name from a court shaped vaguely like a squid.
Main character Seong Gi-hun makes it sound as if Squid Game is unique to his town, describing a game that's kind of like Red Rover and kind of like Capture the Flag and is played in a playground court shaped like a squid. In order to win, the attacking team, who are only allowed to hop until they pass the squid's waist, must tap the squid's head with their foot. Director Hwang that it was his favorite childhood game, so yes, it does seem to be real.
[url=]Den of Geek pointed us to tweets from residents of the Philippines noting that a version of the doll was part of a Netflix display in a mall there, and its head actually spun around.
"The circle is the letter 'o', the triangle is part of the letter 'j', and the square is 'm'," she writes. "So side by side, it reads 'O J M', which are the initials (of) squid game in Korean, which is read as Ojingeo Geim (_____)."
"So there's a theory in Squid Game where Gi-Hun picked the blue card from the salesman (Gong Yoo) and then woke up in blue suit as a player," one tweet notes. "Had he or the other players picked the red card, they would be the workers/guards."

There's no evidence that this is true, but hey, good fodder for a possible sequel.
8. The Squid Game ending explained
Super-spoiler time, because we're going to talk about the series' ending. Seong Gi-hun wins, and he learns who's really running the game (you may have figured it out since we don't see this character die in the game, but it's such a juicy plot twist that I won't reveal it here).
After dealing with the game mastermind, Gi-hun dyes his hair bright red (like the guards' outfits, though that's probably not connected). Then he starts to get on a plane for LA to reunite with his young daughter. But he spots the game recruiter who involved him in the game trying to convince another down-on-his-luck man to play. Gi-hun grabs the card, and just before he gets on the plane, calls the number and tells the person who answers he's going to track them down. SEQUEL? Even if the director doesn't seem in a hurry, the setup is perfect for one.
The Front Man's identity is eventually revealed, and it's a family affair.

And let's talk about the brothers. Police officer Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) infiltrates the game, hunting for his missing brother In-ho. Jun-ho escapes the game compound but is seemingly killed by The Front Man, постельное белье в нижнем новгороде who's kind of the manager of the game. And The Front Man is revealed to be ... Jun-ho's missing brother, who we already learned won the game in 2015.
The brothers could return in a sequel, too. Jun-ho was shot in the shoulder (before falling off a cliff into water). So he might not be dead, though he doesn't seem to have ratted out the game masterminds to his fellow cops, since the game is continuing. It wouldn't be the only death fake-out in this show.
9. Is there more to explore in Squid Game?
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk [url=]told The Hollywood Reporter[/url] that he intentionally left season one's ending open-ended, but because he thought that was "good closure" for the story.
"Season one ends with Gi-hun turning back and not getting on the plane to the States," he said. "And that was, in fact, my way of communicating the message that you should not be dragged along by the competitive flow of society, but that you should start thinking about who has created the whole system — and whether there is some potential for you to turn back and face it. So it's not necessarily Gi-hun turning back to get revenge. It could actually be interpreted as him making a very on-the-spot eye contact with what is truly going on in the bigger picture."
Hwang also said that he'd like to further explore the story of the two brothers, as well as that of the recruiter who brings Gi-hun into the game.
"And, of course, we could go with Gi-hun's story as he turns back and explore more about how he's going to navigate through his reckoning with the people who are designing the games," he said. "So, I don't know yet, but I'll just say there are a lot of possibilities out there for season two storylines."
He also said that while he felt pressure now to deliver a second season, he tried to look on the bright side of their expectations.
"I could actually pull ideas from fans all around the world to create the next season," he said. "I think that's what I'm wrestling with right now -- that I shouldn't just view it as a huge amount of pressure, but think of all of this love and support I'm receiving as a big box of inspiration that I can leverage for season two."
