Netflix And ‘Fight Club’ Director David Fincher Are Working On An English Spinoff Of ‘Squid Game’

Buy Me A Coffee

It looks like Netflix is preparing to plunge deeper into the bizarre, colorful chaos of Squid Game! Just when we thought we had enough of creepy dolls and existential dread, the streaming giant is teasing an English-language spinoff that might make you question your life choices even more.

As we twiddle our thumbs and count the days until December 26—mark your calendars!—when season two of the South Korean dystopian mind-bender drops, news broke on October 28 that Netflix is chatting with none other than David Fincher. Yes, the genius behind Fight Club, The Social Network, and Gone Girl—you know, the guy who makes everything feel uncomfortably intense—is potentially cooking up this new series. Let’s just hope it doesn’t involve any real-life fight clubs; we already have enough on our plate!

Now, while this spinoff marks Netflix’s first foray into scripted Squid Game territory, let’s not forget the 2023 unscripted competition series, Squid Game: The Challenge, where contestants had to outwit each other in a series of games that might have been thought up during a particularly bad night of drinking. Spoiler alert: someone is definitely going to get their feelings hurt! And good news, season two of that chaos has already been greenlit, so prepare for even more nail-biting drama!

For those living under a rock, the original Squid Game, a masterpiece by the talented Hwang Dong-hyuk, hit our screens in 2021 and left us all re-evaluating our social circles. With the second season just around the corner, we can hardly wait to see what new nightmare scenarios they’ll serve up! Who knows? Maybe we’ll finally learn how to make a perfect honeycomb without panicking.
