Squid Game season 2 is on track to beat season 1 on Netflix

"Squid Game" creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk didn't think he'd do a second season of the show. Now he's done three, as Netflix leans into the franchise.
Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk claims that the story of Gi-hun being laid off was inspired by the 2009 Ssangyong Motor strikes in South Korea, as well as his own financial struggles.
