Tengrinews.kz - The intrigue around Squid Game keeps intensifying. After Cate Blanchett’s appearance in the finale of the new season, fans exploded on social media with theories — and now it seems the first substantial hint about the franchise’s future has surfaced, citing RadioTimes.
First details: when filming will begin
Fans noticed an update in the production listings of the film and television industry alliance: a new project appeared under the working title “Squid Game: America”.
According to the listing, filming is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles on February 26, 2026.
The project is overseen by familiar names: original Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, as well as David Fincher, Zeus Zamani, Rhett Giles, and screenwriter Dennis Kelly. Cate Blanchett is already listed among the cast — further fueling the hype around the upcoming show.
What the spin-off will be about
According to the project description, this is an American version of the Squid Game universe. The plot will take place in the United States and will show how the same “games” look in a different cultural and social reality.
The creators remain silent about details, but fans are convinced: the series will continue to explore themes of money, power, social inequality and human desperation — everything that made the original a global phenomenon.
“A US version of the Korean hit series, the spinoff is set in the same world but we get to see how the games are handled in America,” the description states.
For now, information remains limited. Fans are waiting for more details: casting updates, the premiere date and, of course, any hints about how the project will connect to the main storyline.
