The Squid Game cast attended the SAG Awards ceremony on February 27 and spoke about whether their characters would return for the Korean series' second season.
"After we filmed Squid Game Season 1, we all got together brainstorming ideas for how to bring everybody back alive. My idea is the masked men carry all of them out as quickly as possible and do a surgery on them to keep them alive," Lee Jung-jae, who plays the lead Seong Gi-hun told Variety via his translator.
The show made history at the awards event after being the first non-English show to be recognised by SAG-AFTRA. Jung-jae won Best actor, while Jung Ho-yeon won Best Actor in a drama, respectively. The series also won the award for Outstanding Action Performance as a Stunt Ensemble.
Squid Game was renewed for Season 2 in January after Netflix called it the platform's biggest show. Variety had reported that the show garnered 1.65 billion hours of viewing in 28 days after its premiere on September 17 last year.
Squid Game Season 1, created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, also stars Park Hae-soo, Anupam Tripathi, Wi Ha-joon and Gong Yoo. The show follows a man along with 455 other people who enter a deadly children's game to win a life-changing amount of money.
