Squid Game: very sad news for the series it will…

The series Squid Game, a veritable tidal wave of pop culture, has captivated millions of spectators around the world. However, despite its success, the saga will end with its third season, scheduled for next year. Why decide to end a series at the height of its popularity? This is the question that burns on the lips of fans.

Hwang Dong-hyuk and his vision for Squid Game

Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creative genius behind Squid Game, decided to close its story organically with the third season. “I didn’t want to stretch the story beyond what I thought was natural,” he said at an event in Los Angeles. The pressure of global success was very present, but he had a clear idea: to see it expressed over the course of seasons 2 and 3 with the journey, both physical and emotional, of Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae.

A natural outcome for Gi-hun

One of the main reasons for this stop: Gi-hun finds his inner peace and the story reaches its conclusion. natural conclusion. Spectators will follow, through a final adventure, the complex and complete evolution of this character, from his return to Korea after having given up on a new life in the United States. But some may wonder if we couldn’t dig deeper into this hectic and intriguing universe before closing the book.

A bold choice, but discussed

Choosing to stop at your best is daring. Most often, extended series risk running out of steam or diluting their impact. However, it can be argued that some stories suffer from not being explored enough. A world as rich as that of Squid Game would still have many nooks and crannies to discover. This is where the debate between devoted fans and knowledgeable critics persists.

More surprises for season 2

Season 2, for its part, promises unprecedented dramatic intensity with the addition of a new character, Cheol-Su. If critics are feverish about this novelty, some fans would have preferred that the plot remained true to its roots. We only have to see what the final confrontation between Gi-hun’s internal forces and the merciless workings of the deadly game.

Beyond the series: a cultural and social impact

The impact of Squid Game will not stop on screen. The series has become a kind of reflection on the excesses of capitalism and social inequalities, themes which resonate strongly in our daily lives. But can we really be satisfied with this view without exploring other solutions to these problems offered by similar fictions? This is a legitimate question for fans of the genre.

Although I’m just a casual observer, I’m keenly interested to see how this series ends up penetrating deeper into society, well beyond these three captivating seasons.
