The article from the Times of India reports that the American adaptation of *Squid Game*, titled *Squid Game: America*, is set to begin filming in February 2026. The project is being developed by acclaimed director David Fincher and is described as a spin-off rather than a direct remake, set in the same universe as the original Korean series. The production will take place in Los Angeles and other locations across California. Original creator Hwang Dong Hyuk is involved as a producer, alongside Kim Ji Yeon, CEO of Pertsman Studio. The series aims to explore how the deadly games might unfold in an American context, offering a distinct cultural take. No further details about the cast or plot have been officially confirmed, and there are no plans for additional seasons of the Korean version at this time.
