But we will not have to wait another three years for season 3, thankfully, as both Netflix and creator Hwang Dong-hyuk have ensured that won’t happen by having no production breaks between seasons. The result is a season 3 of Squid Game that is much, much closer than we think.

A lot has changed for Seong Gi-hun in the three years since he won the Squid Game. He's a lot richer, of course, and more than just a tad traumatised. He's also reverted back to his natural hair colour, which is a win for everyone. But in the gap between seasons one and two, the show itself has evolved a great deal as well.

Creator/writer/director Hwang Dong-hyuk reveals the "heartbreaking" reason why he didn't cast an openly trans woman in the role.

After the premiere of the second season of Netflix’s “Squid Game,” viewers are criticizing the show’s decision to cast a straight cisgender male actor as a trans character Hyun-ju.

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has explained why it was necessary to include a transgender character, Cho Hyun-ju – played by Park Sung-hoon – in the second season of the hit Netflix drama. The South Korean thriller returned on Thursday (26 December) introducing several new competitors in the deadly competition.
