2Netflix Has Yet to Announce This Spinoff, But it’s Pretty Much Confirmed
The Universe Has a Ton of Potential
If there’s one thing thatSquid Game’s final season highlighted, it’s that fans were disappointed mainly because they felt that the series failed to live up to its potential. It’s a contentious take, but one that can be given a positive spin. What this also means is that another attempt to show the games in a fresh environment can learn from the mistakes of the first series' run to make things as compelling as possible.
Squid Game’s second and third seasons suffered from some unimaginative games that fans couldn’t get behind, which is not a problem that should affect an AmericanSquid Game, where viewers will be more familiar with the children’s games that are being twisted with a killing clause. As long as the cinematography is on point, the games are entertaining, and the characters are great,Squid Game USAwill flourish.
