'SQUID GAME'

Squid Game fans, it’s time to rejoice because the Netflix hit show is coming back for Season 2.

“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,” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told the Associated Press on Monday. “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.”

Hwang confirmed he doesn’t have a set plot or confirmed release date for Season 2 as of yet. However, he does have big plans for the show’s protagonist, Seong Gi-Hun, played by actor Lee Jung-jae. “I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen. So I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world,” Hwang said.

In September, Hwang revealed he’d consider teaming up with more writers and directors for Season 2. “I don’t have well developed plans for Squid Game 2,” he told Variety at the time. “It is quite tiring just thinking about it. But if I were to do it, I would certainly not do it alone. I’d consider using a writers room and would want multiple experienced directors.”

Casetify is back with another collaboration — this time with Netflix‘s global hit series, Squid Game.

Since its release, the Korean show has taken the world by storm, with people all over the world dressing up in green and red suits for Halloween. Building on the title’s success, the tech accessories brand has designed phone cases, watch bands and more inspired by the dystopian series.

Covers made for both Apple and Samsung devices feature Squid Game-inspired motifs, such as the player tracksuit numbered from 001 to 456, as well as the Young-hee doll that shoots bullets from her eyes. Other iterations include the dalgona challenge and the circle-triangle-square invitation card. The motifs are also applied to accessories for AirPods, the Apple Watch, MagSafe wireless chargers and more.

“There’s no denying that Squid Game grabbed the world’s attention with its complex characters, riveting story-telling — it’s what inspired us as a global brand to create a collection with elements from the series that resonate with audiences all over the world, celebrating this moment in entertainment history,” Casetify’s co-founder Wes Ng shared in a press release.

Priced from $35 to $42 USD, the Squid Game x Casetify collection will launch online and in stores on December 1.
