Squid Game continues to break records as Netflix’s most popular non-English TV show. The third and final season of the hit Korean TV show premiered on June 27th, racking up more than 60.1 million views in its first three days to become the streamer’s biggest ever TV launch.

With the statistics, the third season of Squid Game is now Netflix’s ninth most-watched non-English TV show ever. In comparison, the second season racked up 68 million views in its first four days following its release last December and is now Netflix’s second most popular non-English TV show ever.

The third and final season of the show picked up the cliffhanger that season 2 left behind. Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) remain alive and is still determined to stop the game for humanity’s sake. Season three ended with a scene of a female recruiter of the games in America, which people interpreted as what could be an American spin-off of the show.

In an interview with Variety on the future of the show, series creator, writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk said the final scene is “not related” to a Squid Game USA show. “All I wanted to have was just an impactful ending, and that’s all that was to it,” he said. “Honestly, I haven’t heard officially from Netflix about David Fincher creating a ‘Squid Game.” I have heard the rumours of course though. But again, it was just the ending that I wanted for Season 3.”

When quizzed on the possibility of a new Squid Game project, Dong-hyuk said there have been no discussions about it.

“If they wanted to do a following season, then I think it’s obvious I would have to participate and lead,” he said. “But if it’s the U.S. version that they’re making, I think sharing of ideas would be enough. I have no intention of being completely hands-on in a project like that. Having said that, if Netflix asks and if I feel like my contribution is needed, then as long as it’s not something that would interfere with whatever I’m working on at that time, I would be happy to provide what they need from me.”
