David Fincher's Squid Game Spinoff Faces Uncertain Future at Netflix

Netflix's planned American spinoff of Squid Game, led by director David Fincher, faces an uncertain future after he chose not to renew his deal with the streamer, which expires in 2027. The English-language series, first reported in October 2024, was expected to be Fincher's main focus in 2025, but he instead worked on The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. The project was never officially announced, and its fate is now in doubt without Fincher's involvement. The spinoff was teased in Squid Game's finale, with Cate Blanchett appearing as an American recruiter. However, the original series' creator and Korean cast are unlikely to be involved, and the story of protagonist Gi-hun has concluded, raising questions about the need for further expansion.
