Hwang clarified that the ending aimed to highlight the persistent nature of capitalist systems, not to create room for further seasons and stories.
Rumors suggest director David Fincher, a long-time Netflix partner, could be behind a US adaptation or spin-off of Squid Game.
Hwang expressed admiration for Fincher's work and said he would 'definitely' watch a US Squid Game if Fincher were involved, despite having no official confirmation.
