Portray: Netflix
With season 3 of Squid Game now wrapped up and already breaking viewership data, consideration is rightly pointing in direction of the prolonged bustle. Whereas Netflix and the present off’s creator believe been coy about what’s coming next, the door is successfully open for future initiatives, and rumors are aplenty. What’s no longer at the moment deliberate, nonetheless, is the Squid Game Cinematic Universe, a meme/image that has been circulating for successfully over a year now, nonetheless has skilled a resurgence within the past week, collecting tens of millions of views and likes.
Squid Game USA, Squid Game 1987, Squid Game Twenty eighth, Squid Game World – those are the initiatives that are “confirmed” to be within the works from the viral image that’s dominating all over Fb, Instagram, and TikTok upright now. The image seems to be to produce from a Twitter legend in late 2024, although the put up is now not any longer accessible. Peaceable, we stumbled on one iteration that changed into as soon as posted relief in January 2025. Nonetheless, the fetch is forever, and on condition that most platforms now believe monetization schemes for engagement, it’s spreading like wildfire.
The image details Phase One among the Squid Game Cinematic Universe, which mimics Wonder’s efforts to construct a connected cinematic universe. It details how Squid Game S3 is coming in Summer season 2025 (which has upright occurred, although this image changed into as soon as first made after we simplest knew it changed into as soon as Summer season), then Squid Game 1987 in Winter 2026, Squid Game USA in Fall 2026 (cool climate comes earlier than fall now eh?), Squid Game Twenty eighth in Spring 2027 and then Squid Game World in Winter 2028.
The Faux Viral Squid Game Universe Portray
Every other model of the image, shared by the viral Instagram legend Indiamoviedekho, which is stuffed with engagement bait and AI-generated philosophize material, even ingredients a superimposed model that gives the affect it changed into as soon as launched on stage. That person image has over 100 thousand likes. The stage image is de facto that of the Phase 5 indicate from a 2022 Wonder press convention at San Diego Comic Con, albeit zoomed in and edited.
It’s very great no longer legit India Movie Dekho….
The slop continues, although, as one other viral put up on Threads seems to be to advocate “leaks” of the four talked about initiatives, in conjunction with a synopsis of each. Again, utterly made up and even goes as a long way as to head past phase one with phase two titles in conjunction with “Squid Game: Innocence Misplaced”, “Squid Game: Velvet/Plastic Guarantees,” and “Squid Game: Bloodline/Rental of Powers Discontinue.” What a load of…
What packed with life Squid Game initiatives are there at Netflix? Even supposing the Cinematic Universe, as laid out above, isn’t reliable, Netflix is successfully no longer done with Squid Game – no longer by a prolonged shot. With Season 3 now within the rearview mutter, Squid Game has two legit ongoing initiatives and one that’s aloof in packed with life pattern nonetheless no longer yet formally confirmed by Netflix. Let’s ruin them down:
Squid Game: The Affirm – This fact opponents sequence first debuted in November 2023, and it’s been a prolonged defend up for it to come. Filming for the fresh season took build earlier this year and is confirmed for a 2025 release. If Season 2 of Squid Game: The Affirm follows within the footsteps of its predecessor, we are in a position to query a multi-batch rollout spherical Thanksgiving time. Whereas a third season isn’t confirmed, Netflix is aloof actively recruiting more contestants and states that the present off is “ongoing.” Squid Game Unleashed – The cell game, which no longer too prolonged within the past expanded to laptops, continues to receive a pleasing selection of updates, in conjunction with a most indispensable one that changed into as soon as upright released, introducing fresh characters, video games, episode-linked rewards, and iconic challenges from the sequence. Then you’ve got the excellent-talked-about and talked about Squid Game: The United States. Netflix has yet to narrate this project formally, and it has been in pattern since a minimal of 2023. Decrease-off date “completely” confirmed the project’s packed with life pattern in October 2024, with David Fincher alive to and expected to narrate. It’s a experience-off, as a alternative of a remake, and is being developed as a chain, with very minute else identified concerning the present off. Studies believe surfaced that Dennis Kelly is expected to write, with Grasp Key Production within the relief of the production (they handled the LA unit within the season 3 finale), and executive produced by Kim Ji-yeon, Hwang Dong-hyuk, David Fincher, Zeus Zamani, and Rhett Giles.
Even with Squid Game: The United States, nonetheless, there are hundreds viral posts circulating upright now, particularly referring to casting “data” shared on Fb and Instagram, in conjunction with reports that Leonardo DiCaprio has been forged, a callback to a rumor of his supposed look in Season 3. There are a pair of licensed suspects, in conjunction with Gamurs Community’s Fb pages, such as Netflix Updates, claiming that Robert De Niro, Matthew McConaughey, and Salma Hayek are all in line for roles – merely no longer appropriate. Extra AI slop has Pedro Pascal and Michael B. Jordan starring. In actual fact, we would possibly retain going – it’s a deep rabbit gap. It’s even our understanding that Cate Blanchett, who cameoed within the finale of Season 3, isn’t necessarily forged in any future installment of Squid Game either, along with her position labeled merely as a “special look.”
Finally, Netflix isn’t commenting on the rest referring to Squid Game: The United States or whoever it turns out to be known as upright yet, and that’s if it even happens. Production listings from ProductionWeekly and USA Casting Records advocate that filming would possibly open up as early as December 2025, nonetheless several components have to align for this to happen come what would possibly.
In conclusion, then, whereas The Squid Game Cinematic Universe isn’t reliable, Squid Game is going to be phase of Netflix for rather some time.
