Netflix execs also confirmed that “Emily in Paris” Season 4 will launch later this year.
The nine-episode first season of Dong-hyuk’s “Squid Game” launched in 2021. The drama about a deadly contest among poor competitors to win ₩45.6 billion proved to be an all-time smash hit for Netflix and was nominated for 14 Emmys, including best drama series (a first for a non-English-language series), winning six.
“Squid Game” also made history at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards by becoming the first non-English-language series and first Korean series to score nominations for cast in a drama series, actor in a drama series (Lee Jung-jae), actress in a drama series (Jung Ho-yeon) and stunt ensemble. Lee Jung-jae and Ho-yeon won the prizes. “Squid Game” also won three Golden Globe Awards, including best TV drama.

After months of speculation over whether or not the show would get a second season, Netflix confirmed in January 2022 that it would move forward with a Season 2. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos said during an analyst call, “Absolutely. The ‘Squid Game’ universe has just begun.”
The “Squid Game” universe has since been expanded to include unscripted competition series, “Squid Game: The Challenge,” and an upcoming video game.
Netflix reported its Q4 2023 earnings Tuesday, following the early morning reveal it had closed a massive deal to air WWE’s “Monday Night Raw” beginning in 2025.
