Netflix has cancelled the highly anticipated Squid Game spinoff that was meant to be set in the US. The South Korean Netflix series ended its third season with a stinger last year, but it seems that any future plans to continue the series outside of Korea have been shelved.
The series followed Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a gambler with money troubles who is recruited for a contest to earn ₩45.6 billion (£23.7 million) where failure at any point means death. The first season of Squid Game debuted in 2021 to critical acclaim and became a flagship series for the streaming platform, but it seems the show is over.
