Filmmaker David Fincher is reportedly working on an English-language adaptation of the global hit Squid Game for Netflix. According to sources, this project could become Fincher’s major release for 2025, adding to his portfolio of acclaimed collaborations with the streaming giant, including House of Cards, Mindhunter, and Love, Death & Robots.

The upcoming series will mark the first scripted spinoff within Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Squid Game universe, following the reality competition show Squid Game: The Challenge. While specific plot details remain scarce, reports suggest the adaptation will take the form of a TV series rather than a film, with a probable setting in the United States.
This project reflects Netflix’s intent to expand the reach of its most popular franchises, tapping into new audiences while maintaining the dark, thought-provoking themes that made the original Korean-language Squid Game a phenomenon.
Meanwhile, fans of the original series can look forward to the premiere of Season 2 on December 26, with a third and final season already confirmed to conclude the series.
Stay tuned for further updates on Fincher’s exciting new project.
