David Fincher to Direct English-Language 'Squid Game' Series for Netflix

The acclaimed director is set to expand the 'Squid Game' universe with a new series likely to debut in 2025.

David Fincher is reportedly developing an English-language adaptation of the Korean hit series 'Squid Game' for Netflix.
The new series is expected to be set in the United States, with Dennis Kelly, known for 'Utopia,' likely involved as the writer.
This project marks the first scripted spinoff of 'Squid Game,' following the success of the original series and its reality show adaptation.
Fincher's involvement with Netflix includes past projects like 'Mindhunter,' 'House of Cards,' and 'The Killer,' showcasing his long-standing relationship with the platform.
Fans of 'Mindhunter' have expressed disappointment, as this new project suggests Fincher's focus will not return to the long-awaited third season of the crime thriller.
