Head Netflix Ted Sarandos, during his visit to Korea, called the story of a remake of the series a “rumor.” “The Squid Game” from David Fincher (Fight Club).
Information about a new version of the popular Korean show has been circulating online for quite some time, but it seems that Netflix is still not pursuing it – or does not yet want to make any official announcements about it.
Fincher himself, who recently released a thriller on the streaming service “Killer”has extended its contract with Netflix for another three years, expected to end in 2027.
During the same visit, Sarandos spoke about his love for Korean cinema and noted various hits that have performed well on Netflix – “100 athletes”, “Kill Pok-Sun” and “Sweet home”.
The streaming service is looking forward to the return of these series with new seasons this year, but it is especially interested in the imminent release of the sequel to “The Squid Game.”
In one of the latest Netflix promo videos, they just showed the first footage of the second season of “The Game.” The original was about different characters who found themselves taking part in a competition with a huge cash prize – only all the events within this tournament were deadly.
