Additionally, it has been rumoured since 2024 that the American director David Fincher ( Fight Club, Gone Girl, The Social Network) has expressed interest in creating an English language Squid Game spin-off, though this has not been confirmed by him or Netflix.

A cameo from actor Cate Blanchett may or may not mean David Fincher's Squid Game spinoff is coming to Netflix, but it's definitely a good sign.

For what it's worth, Hwang has confirmed that the American Recruiter was not shown primarily to set up a future spinoff. Instead, the cameo was meant to show that the end of the Korean game did not mean the end of the societal problems that brought it about.
