"Luck" follows the story of a group of financially struggling and desperate individuals who are lured into participating in a series of competitive games, offering them the opportunity to win substantial amounts of money.
The thriller-drama, which became the biggest viral hit of 2020, is making a comeback. Netflix has recently announced that the second season of “Squid Game” will debut on December 26, 2024, with the concluding third season set to be released in 2025.
“Squid Game” actor O Yeong-Su has been given an eight-month suspended prison sentence for sexual misconduct by a court in South Korea. The 79-year-old was charged in 2022 with sexually assaulting a woman twice, reports BBC.
Netflix is taking the “Squid Game” phenomenon beyond the screen with the introduction of an official video game. This addition to their 2024 lineup, including highly anticipated titles like “Sonic Mania Plus” and “Money Heist”, was announced by Vice President Mike Verdu of Netflix Games, on the Netflix blog. Building on the success of the 2021 hit “Squid Game”, the creators emphasised that the Squid Game universe is not merely a one-time success but an ongoing expansion. It seems their foresight was spot on.
Is the world really obsessed with Korean culture or is it just recency bias at play?
Fans are upset with "Squid Game" creators for failing to include any female stars, especially following the success of Jung Ho-yeon and Lee Yoo-mi in Season 1.

“Squid Game: The Challenge” will feature 456 contestants participating in various games inspired by the original “Squid Game” series with many new additions, for a grand prize of USD 4.56 million.
The nine-episode drama, which debuted in September 2021, follows 456 characters from all backgrounds who are all struggling with debt. They are all required to participate in a variety of Korean children's games, however, while appearing to be a standard competition, everyone who loses dies, and the winner is awarded a hefty monetary prize of 45.6 billion.
