'I actually had this faint ideation about possibly a spinoff — not a sequel, but maybe a spinoff about the three-year gap between Season 1 and Season 2 when Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) looks around for the recruiters,' he said. 'There is that three-year period, and maybe I could have a portrayal of what the recruiters or Captain Park (Oh Dal-su) or officers or masked men were doing in that period, not inside the gaming arena, but their life outside of that. So that is some vague ideation that I have that could possibly be developed in the future.'
Despite Hwang's spinoff idea(s), the creator assures fans that everything will be resolved by the end of Season 3's six-episode run — though he offers zero hints about Gi-hun's fate.
'Season 3 is indeed a finale, and you'll be able to feel that once you watch,' he said. 'But I'm not trying to say that I'm going to close the door to spinoffs or sequels altogether because they say never say never.'

Netflix (@netflix) August 4, 2025 Aug. 4 (UPI) -- Gangs of London actor Sope Dirisu will star in All the Sinners Bleed, a crime thriller series adapted by Black Panther co-writer Joe Robert Cole.

The Obamas' production company, Higher Ground Productions, is among the executive producers on the project. "Haunted by his devout mother's untimely death, the first Black sheriff in a small Bible Belt county (Dirisu) must lead the hunt for a serial killer who has quietly been preying on his Black community for years in the name of God," an official synopsis reads.

Hannah Burns 'Completely Cut' From ‘Perfect Match' Season 3
Netflix's Perfect Match season 3 just debuted last week, but already, there has been more drama offscreen than in the first six episodes of the series. For instance: Amber Desiree 'AD' Smith from Love Is Blind and Ollie Sutherland from Love Is Blind: UK have already announced their engagement (and pregnancy!). And more recently, Too Hot to Handle's Louis Russell made his red carpet debut with Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa (the latter of whom is not even on Perfect Match...) The latest drama: The Mole alum Hannah Burns claims Netflix won't let her go public with her fiancé/the father of her according to her, they 'completely cut' all her scenes from the season. Confused? Let's back up a bit. Hannah first raised eyebrows in late June, when she posted an Instagram suggesting she's gotten engaged on the upcoming season. '& now I'm engaged 🙊💍 Watch me find love on Perfect Match August 1st on @netflix,' she captioned a promo pic on June 25. Oh, and she also debuted a photo of what appears to be an engagement ring just over a week earlier on June 16. The plot thickened on July 16 when she announced that not only is she engaged—she's also expecting her first child. Naturally, fans began speculating that she'd met her mystery man on Perfect Match, and she kept the rumor mill turning with TikTok videos like this: And this: And while the identity of Hannah's fiancé is still not clear, she's now calling out Netflix for not allowing her to go public with her romance. In a TikTok posted on August 2, Hannah wrote, 'So, since my castmates from PM announced their engagement and fake relationships, can I be allowed to announce my BD/fiancé now or ????' She also added a caption reading, 'Like the double standard is INSANE.' She doesn't name names, but it seems preeeetty clear she's calling out her fellow castmates, AD and Ollie, who were allowed to go public with their post-Perfect Match relationship way back in March at the Love Is Blind season 8 reunion. THEN, in a second TikTok, Hannah wrote, 'Being told you have to keep your engagement a secret for six months only to find out you were completely cut from Perfect Match.' Oh? If you've already watched, then you know that Hannah doesn't appear in the first six episodes of Perfect Match. Presumably, she will be one of the new arrivals in a later episode if chosen for a date, but tbd!! Since Hannah is apparently unable to disclose any more deets, we'll just have to wait to find out who her IRL perfect match ends up being.
