Could 'Squid Game' plan Season 4 or a spinoff? With 'caution,' creator says
Spoiler alert! The following contains details about the series finale of "Squid Game," and beyond. After three seasons of blood, gore and unrelenting tragedy, you might be a little bit more relaxed now that Netflix's South Korean hit series "Squid Game" (now streaming) has come to an end. But the only person who might feel like a bigger wait has lifted from his shoulders is the show's creator and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk. "I had a lot of depressing thoughts in my mind as I was working on the show," Hwang, speaking through a translator, said to USA TODAY in a recent interview. "More than that, I think I am more happy that I am free of the burden, the intense pressure" involved with making Netflix's biggest show of all time. "I have now finished." But the final moments of the third season, which saw our hero Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) sacrifice himself during the macabre games in order to save a newborn baby, there's an opening for "Squid Game" to go on, even if Hwang is done. Though the games, in which poor indebted people compete for a fortune in schoolyard scrabbles, are done forever in South Korea, they are happening elsewhere in the world. Chiefly we see a recruiter in a Los Angeles back alley, playing ddakji with an unsuspecting victim, and that recruiter is played by none other than Oscar-winner Cate Blanchett. Netflix has announced no plans for a future "Squid Game" spinoff, but we talked to Hwang about the possibility of the series continuing without him, how he nabbed Blanchett for that huge scene and if there was ever any hope of "Squid" having a happy ending. Is Cate Blanchett leading an American 'Squid Game' spinoff? Question: How did Cate Blanchett come on board? Answer: I've always been a big fan of hers. As you know, we needed someone who could completely dominate the screen with a single line and a fleeting moment. ... She is someone who can do that, (and) all of my producers thought so, too. When I met her she told me that her kids were big "Squid Game" fans. Does Blanchett's scene leave the door open for an American spinoff? I didn't write that particular scene in order to open room for spinoffs. But it was about how, through Gi-hun's sacrifice, the games in Korea have come to an end. The gaming arena has been demolished. But I wanted to make the point that in other parts of the world the games do continue. There is already a "Squid Game" reality show on Netflix ("Squid Game: The Challenge"). Can you imagine the show being continued in a scripted version without your participation? Yeah, I think it can be made, definitely. But that said, I hope that whoever wishes to go on that route will be cautious, because this is a show that is really on the edge. It is a really tricky and nuanced show; if you slightly tilt too much to the side you can fall immediately. I hope that if other shows were to come that the intention would not just be to ride on the success. ... I don't think I have to be a part of it for the show to be made, but I hope they would consult with me. Was there ever a version of the story in your mind that had a happy ending? In the very beginning, I did think about that. I thought about what if Gi-hun was able to save a few of the people in there? (But) the more i thought about it, the more I thought about what kind of story do I want to tell, and the more I saw what was happening around the world in the process. ... When you look around the world, everything seems to be headed for the worst, economically and with the environment. The next generation is losing hope. I thought (a happy) ending was not fitting for "Squid Game," or the world.

The ‘Squid Game' Season 3 Ending Was A Mess
Squid Game Squid Game has ended its run with a season 3 finale that served as a second half of season 2, more or less, the overly-large season covering a single game split in two. While there were certainly good moments in the season, episode 2, for instance, was one of the best in all three seasons of Squid Game; once we made it to the end, it was just…not a good finale, and the entire thing very much felt like it was not supposed to exist, a product of Netflix trying to milk the popular series when it should have been a one-off. What went wrong? (Spoilers follow) The turning point was the birth of the baby. The CGI baby who was, admittedly, halfway decent CGI, but still, a CGI baby that then had to be carried through the games as another player because the idiot VIPs thought it would be funny. This totally changed Gi-hun's mission, which was already sort of neutered after his failed rebellion as he had given up his ultimate goal of taking down the Frontman and the games. The end here was all over the place. In a bout of incredibly bad timing, Gi-hun opts to jump off the final tower to follow the rules of the game and save the baby, first A) assuming these insane game operators will actually do anything kind with the baby (who they were willing to let die thirty seconds earlier) and B) give it billions in prize money. Squid Game The timing is poor because just minutes later, the Coast Guard and the detective arrive to storm the place, meaning if this did not happen coincidentally that close together, Gi-hun probably could have escaped with the baby if the Frontman hit the button to let them down, which seems like something he would do at that point. But the show wanted to get that Gi-hun sacrifice in there despite it meaning practically nothing. The Frontman ends up giving this completely random baby to his brother, along with the baby's cash because well, the baby had to go somewhere since the final four episodes were based around it. I am fundamentally okay with the Frontman surviving all this, but I can't believe we got through this entire series without a single one of those deeply annoying, horrifyingly cruel VIPs getting killed. We were waiting the entire series for that, and they just…disappear in the end. I guess maybe they got blown up? We have no idea. The Cate Blanchett cameo was the cherry on top. I suppose the idea here was to cast a recognizable actor in that role as they did on the Korean side, but it certainly was a bizarre moment to see a hugely recognizable Western actress in the last moments of the show (the only other Western actors being the abominable VIPs). As of now, there is no confirmed American spin-off coming, but obviously, that seems like something Netflix would do. Who knows if they could rope Cate Blanchett into an entire series? But the point is, the games didn't end anyway, so all of this was pointless and just left open-ended for more seasons someday or spin-offs. I thought season 3 started strong, but it was ultimately a thrown-together mess by the end where everything jumbled together and little made sense. It also negated the entire arc of Gi-hun within minutes, which was a terrible end to his character. What a nightmare. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.

Squid Game Director Reveals Truth Behind That Truly Wild Season 3 Finale Cameo
Warning: This article contains major spoilers for the final season of Squid Game. If you've already made it through the final season of Squid Game in the last few days, chances are you're still reeling from a certain Hollywood legend popping up in the final scene. Now, if you still haven't finished Squid Game, and you're trying avoid spoilers, we recommend bookmarking this page and closing it immediately, because we are going to be dropping names. OK! Last chance… So, as you're hopefully well aware, the show ends with a cameo from none other than two-time Oscar winner Cate Blanchett, who makes an appearance as a new version of The Recruiter in Squid Game's final moments. — Netflix (@netflix) June 30, 2025 Naturally, this led to an array of reactions on social media, ranging from 'whaat?' to 'no but seriously, whaat?'. Others were also convinced this was Netflix's way of teasing that Cate will play a prominent role in the upcoming US remake of Squid Game, set to be helmed by David Fincher (with whom the Australian actor previously collaborated on The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button)... WDYM CATE BLANCHETT IS IN SQUID GAME S3 ?!?! — Rina (@bbblanchett) June 27, 2025 seeing cate blanchett in squid game as the recruiter is the best thing i ever witnessed — selina (@mytulipluv) June 28, 2025 WHAT IS CATE BLANCHETT DOING HERE WTF IS THAT ENDING # — Cads. (@deareronailevis) June 27, 2025 apologies squid game recruiter cate blanchett in a suit slapping me will be my whole personality for the next 3-5 business days — bad soap 🧼🫧 (@replicafatale) June 27, 2025 how i feel after telling everyone that cate blanchett is in squid game — viidarkness (@viid4rkness) June 27, 2025 Still gagged — Harry Powell (@lilmonsterharry) June 30, 2025 Excuse me??? No one can convince me that there's nothing going to be a spin off. They could use anybody for this scene but it's CATE BLANCHETT?? # — Fangirl For Life. (@SeniorFangirl0) June 27, 2025 cate blanchett randomly being on the squid game made so much more sense after i remembered david fincher(for whatever the fuck reason) is directing the american spin off thing of that show — elise ⧗ widowed by marvel🪦 (@_skeletonhill) June 30, 2025 girl i know the idea of sg usa is sucks but don't you ever disrespect cate blanchett, her cameo was literally fire, and she deliver that shit scene flawlessly — Diyaneil Dimann (@Mandiyanle) June 30, 2025 Director Hwang Dong-hyuk recently told Netflix's Tudum: 'We thought having a woman as a recruiter would be more dramatic and intriguing. And as for why Cate Blanchett, she's just the best, with unmatched charisma. Who doesn't love her? So we were very happy to have her appear. 'We needed someone who could dominate the screen with just one or two words, which is exactly what she did. If Gong Yoo is the Korean Recruiter, I thought she would be the perfect fit as the American Recruiter, bringing a short but gripping and impactful ending to the story.' He added: 'During the shoot, she reminded me of what true talent looks like. Even with just a few looks and lines, her performance was mesmerising. She was amazing at playing ddakji. I believe she successfully flipped the ddakji with her first try, and we were able to get that one long take right away.' Squid Game actor Lee Byung-hun also praised the ending, saying he felt it symbolised how 'despite all of the noble efforts of so many people, the world still continues as it was before'. Earlier this year, Cate made headlines when she claimed she was 'serious about giving up acting' – although her schedule seems as jam-packed as ever. As well as shooting her secret Squid Game cameo, in the last year Cate has appeared in the Apple TV+ series Disclaimer; the films Rumours, Borderlands, Black Bag and Father, Mother, Sister, Brother; as well as a West End production of The Seagull. As well as the US remake of Squid Game, a second season of the reality competition series Squid Game: The Challenge is also expected to premiere later this year.
