The show garnered worldwide acclaim, but its road to getting on the platform wasn't easy. The project was years in the making, and originally, Hwang only planned for the show to have one season.

<br />
It's unclear how Gi-hun fits into the narrative of the second season, but it's expected that he will once again be involved. Once his story is done, there won't be much to tell in <em>Squid Game </em>beyond season 3, especially if Gi-hun succeeds in exposing the illegal competition.<br />

Many feel it is better if Netflix follows the director's vision and ends the show with a cohesive conclusion instead of dragging it forward with another season just to bank on its popularity.&nbsp;</p>
