Last year in December, Hwang revealed that not only finalised the plotline for the second season but he is also in talks with Netflix for the show’s third season. While talking about the storyline of the second season, Hwang revealed, “The focus will be the story of Seong Gi Hun (played by lead actor Lee Jung) unravelling (the mysteries of the organisation behind the game). The overarching plotline of Season 2 will be the story of the people that Gi Hun meets and the people he chases after.”
