Hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits - with deadly high stakes.
Maybe Netflix is doing their own shtick which would not be great for Squid Game...
Since David Fincher is involved, there's a good chance it will be good! :)
I don't care enough to google the legal details, but I guess that either they convinced the creator with a big pile of money, which would be quite funny, or he had signed away the rights previously and Netflix could just do what they wanted to do without asking.
I just think it's strange that it's coming out very soon and there has been zero marketing whatsoever.
Not really:
The American spin-off, titled Squid Game: America, is set to begin filming in Los Angeles on February 26, 2026. Developed by acclaimed director David Fincher, the series is projected to release on Netflix in late 2026 or, more likely, in 2027, according to reports.
It Releases Apr 26, 2026
That's pretty soon considering there hasn't even been a trailer or poster. This release is very very odd

It's weird because, not so long ago the creator said this:
Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has shut down the rumors surrounding an American spinoff for the Netflix series. Speaking in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he revealed, “I didn't end it on that note in order to deliberately leave room for further stories to happen.”
Hwang explained that the finale was meant to highlight a broader theme of how even when one part of an exploitative system collapses, the larger structure of late-capitalist competition remains intact and tends to repeat itself.
“That's why I wanted to end it with an American recruiter,” he said, adding, “I wrote that scene wanting an impactful ending for the show, not to open rooms for anything else.”

Squid Game America it's on IMDB, but can't post links here.
Can't find it in the list by searching.

Speculations for an U.S. version are already circling around and honestly, this could be a very good continuation for the show (not a remake!). With this kind of foundation it should be an easy adaption.
Imagine they freshen it up a bit, and Jigsaw introduces himself to the players... "I want to play a game." :lol:

I can only assume that is a mistake on imdb since it says
S2, E5 - Death raking - So, 26. Apr. 2026
I doubt that they are going to start with Season 2, Episode 5 :)
