The South Korean “game in Kalmara” has officially ended – but it was early to put an end to history early.
In Hollywood they seriously thought of their own continuation and according to rumors the project will not be done by anyone, but by David Fincher himself.
There were immediately questions to such a decision. Many viewers have already seen a hint of the American version in the final of the Korean series: in the last series Kate Blanchett appears in the role of a mysterious recruiter who meets one of the characters in New York. However, the author of the “Game in Kalmara” Hwan Don Hyok in an interview with Variety in June 2025 was immediately cut off:
“In fact, no, this is not connected at all. I just wanted to put a strong end – and alone. To be honest, I didn’t even hear from Netflix officiallyWhat Fincher does ‘game in the squid’. Although of course rumors reached me. “
The final was final, but there was still land for speculation. In October 2024, Deadline reported that Netflix was really preparing the American version of the “Calmar” match and David Fincher will direct it.

If anyone had forgotten it, the shoulders of Fincher:
- “Fighting Club”
- “Seven”
- “Disappeared”
- “Zodiac”
- “Social network”
In addition, a long collaboration with Netflix: he produced and filmed the “Mind Hunter” and “Cards of the House”, and also participated in the establishment of “Love, Death and Robots”. It seems that the perfect candidate, but since then nothing new has been reported about the project. According to what is on Netflix, photography can start in December 2025, but this has not yet been confirmed.
Hwan Don Hyok himself, for the idea of the American adaptation of Fincher, treats without insults. In June 2025 he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter:
“I have always been a big fan of Fincher – since the time of” Seven “. If he makes the American version of” Calmar’s game “, it will be very interesting to see. I would definitely print on the” Watch “Watch” immediately after the exit. “
Even the actors of the “Calmar” are connected to the discussion. Lee Benhon, who played the frontman, hinted that the American spin-off could continue his story. In July 2025 he admitted in an interview with Radio Times:
“The story of the spin-off should be even more exciting than that of the original. I hope she will influence the past in-ho, because the fans were clearly not enough … If you look closely, in the final, the In-Ho looks surprised and even irritated. I clarified the quan and he confirmed: In-Ho did not know that the games did not.”
So far there are no official dates and announcements, but the discussion is in full swing. Until that time, the audience remains to revise the original – and to build what will come.
