As a die-hard fan who has binge-watched every episode of Squid Game multiple times and even participated in a few backyard versions (with much less drama, thankfully), I am beyond excited about the upcoming English adaptation of this global phenomenon! David Fincher, with his knack for gritty, suspenseful storytelling, is undoubtedly the right man for the job.
As a gaming enthusiast, I’m buzzing about the chatter surrounding the potential English adaptation of Squid Game, directed by the legendary David Fincher. Word on the street is that this could be his next big project, and I can hardly contain my excitement!
According to a recent article from Deadline, Fincher is currently involved in a new project that he will likely focus on throughout 2025. Although there’s a possibility he may direct another film before then, it seems the Squid Game series is his primary focus for now.
It’s not a new occurrence that rumors about a Netflix English adaptation of “Squid Game” have surfaced. Previously, there were reports stating that Fincher was being considered for directing the project last year.
What do we know about the English Squid Game series?
Previous speculation from Jeff Sneider of The Insider indicates a potential American adaptation of the show is being considered by Netflix, although Sneider expresses uncertainty about how an American Squid Game might take shape. He also highlights the fact that some audiences prefer not to watch foreign language content as another factor that could prompt Netflix to remake the series instead.
In his recent projects, David Fincher has directed both “The Killer,” an action-thriller set to premiere in 2023 on Netflix, and the 2020 film “Mank,” another production by Netflix.
As a gamer myself, let me share my take on Squid Game: This gripping series was masterfully crafted by the creative mind of Hwang Dong-Hyuk, renowned for his captivating works in South Korean cinema like The Fortress, Miss Granny, and Silenced. The story revolves around me and 455 other financially struggling individuals who receive an unusual invitation to participate in kid’s games on a distant island. We eagerly accept, hoping to claim the massive 456 billion won prize money. But as we delve deeper into the games, we start to realize that winning comes with a chilling catch – the stakes are lethal.
A second season of the hit Netflix series is set to premiere on December 26, 2024.
