In a shocking twist for fans of the record-breaking Korean series, Netflix has reportedly decided to can Squid Game: America, the highly anticipated American spinoff series, according to sources close to the project. Initially conceived by David Fincher with Dennis Kenny penning the script, this spinoff was set to explore an American take on the popular Squid Game universe, but Netflix's vision has apparently evolved. The streaming giant is now focusing on creating individual international spinoffs, though specific details about potential country-specific versions like Squid Game: Brazil or Norway remain unclear. The cancellation of Fincher's Squid Game: America seems to be a definitive conclusion, with sources citing a lengthy production process, executive level changes at Netflix, and Fincher's involvement in other projects as possible reasons. While Cate Blanchett's surprise appearance in Season 3 may have hinted at more versions of the Games, Squid Game's original creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, confirmed that Season 3 was the finale for the entire series. As speculation mounts over Netflix's plans for Squid Game as an IP, Mask Girl, another dark, time-jumping series with similar tonal notes, is poised to satiate those craving more Korean thrillers on the streamer. IGN has reached out to Netflix for comment.
