He said the second season is now in the planning process and that the lead actor, Gi-Hun, will return and accomplish something for the world.
Hwang however did not give a date for season two’s premiere. “I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen,” he said. “So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world.” “So, there’s been so much pressure, so much demand, and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice,” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk said.
“But, I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently. But I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen.”
