The Squid Game series has been confirmed for a second season by the company.

Ted Sarandos, the co-CEO and chief content officer of Netflix, confirmed during the company's fourth-quarter earnings call that the Korean miniseries is returning. Sarados was asked by Nidhi Gupta of Fidelity Management and Research if the viewers would get a second season of the show.

He said yes. The Squid Game universe has begun.

He said that he was in the planning process and that the series would return. When the series will return and what an expanded Squid Game universe would look like were not mentioned.

If the series gets a full treatment, that could lead to gaming and more. Netflix has made it clear that gaming is a core part of its business strategy. Squid Game has its own line of merchandise. Friday is when the new Bape collaboration is expected to drop.

Bring on the games.
