On the 21st (Korea Standard Time), local media in the United States said that director David Fincher's long-working `Squid Game: America' will begin production in a few months. Currently, the American version of 'Squid Game' is registered on the FITA website.
The FITA website has an update regarding 'Squid Game: America'. Filming began on February 26, 2026, and filming locations were Los Angeles (LA) and California, USA. David Fincher is on the list of directors. In addition, Hwang Dong-hyuk, the original producer, and Kim Ji-yeon, the CEO of the production company First Man Studio, are registered as producers. In addition, Cate Blanchett, who appeared as a scab man at the end of the season 3 of Squid Game, attracts attention.
According to foreign media, the work will be a spin-off version of 'Squid Game', not just an American version. Attention is also drawn to how the U.S.-only 'Squid Game' will be treated. Local media outlet Collider "If filming begins early next year, the most likely release time will be in 2028. It is expected that it will be around Christmas when seasons 1 and 2 of the 'Squid Game' were released.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk drew the line as if he had completely ended the 'Squid Game' series in previous interviews. He also stopped talking about making the U.S. spin-off, saying, "The ending of this season is not the connection with the U.S. version. "I like David Fincher so much that I can seriously think about it if I get a request."
