“Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk says another megaproject is in the works. The South Korean is working on a film with the working title “Killing Old People Club,” or “K.O. Club,” based on a novel penned by Umberto Eco, according to Variety.
“It will be more violent than ‘Squid Game,’” declared Dong-hyuk during a MIPTV event at the international television market in France recently. He reportedly has already developed a 25-page treatment for the movie, which he expects will be “another controversial film.”
“Squid Game,” follows the story of broke characters competing in a series of fatal games in order to win desperately needed money.
Netflix achieved 4.4 million new customers globally when the show debuted on the platform last year.

A second season of “Squid Game” was confirmed in November 2021 by Dong-hyuk, although no timeline has been set for production.
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice!” he told the Associated Press last fall.
“But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently,” he said in an interview.
He added that the first season’s determined main character, Seong Gi-hun played by Golden Globe nominee Lee Jung-jae will return to the show.
“I will promise you this Gi-hun will come back, and he will do something for the world,” the filmmaker said.
