The pink-uniformed army is returning to screens in an American adaptation. Following Cate Blanchett's cameo in the final season of "Squid Game", David Fincher's western version is moving forward, with filming reportedly beginning in February 2026.
According to the Film and Television Industry Alliance website, the new series titled "Squid Game: America" will be disconnected from the original Korean series. The cast remains undisclosed, including whether Blanchett will reprise her recruiter role. Fincher is known for thrillers like "Gone Girl", "Zodiac", and "Fight Club". The original creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed the American version's existence. The American version is projected for release in February 2028.
Since its 2021 debut, "Squid Game" became a streaming phenomenon, spawning seasons 2 and 3, and reality show "Squid Game: The Challenge".
