What This Means For Netflix
Squid Game Stars Are In Several Of The Projects
Several of the announced titles include stars from Squid Game. Kang Ha-neul, who played Dae-ho (aka Player 388) in Squid Game season 2, is in three titles including Wall to Wall, Tastefully Yours, and Squid Game season 3. This will be a big year for the actor, as he will have Netflix titles coming out in Q2 and Q3. Yim Si-Wan also returns to Squid Game as player 333, but he will also be in the film Mantis with Park Gyu-young, who plays Squid Game's guard 011.
Park Gyu-young’s 8 Best K-Dramas, Ranked
From It's Okay To Not Be Okay to Squid Game season 2, Park Gyu-young's career continues to be impressive and includes some amazing shows.
The Netflix slate is indicative of just how powerful Squid Game's influence is, and it is a power that will only grow. K-dramas have had a growing international appeal for several years now, and have been a quieter addition to Netflix's slate for a few years. With 29 titles, Netflix is significantly expanding their commitment to Korean-language content. If this 2025 plan is successful, this production is sure to continue.
Our Take On Netflix's K-Drama Expansion
Squid Game Has Huge Influence
The streamer has Squid Game to thank for this growth opportunity. The fact that several Squid Game actors will be featured in this K-drama slate is no surprise, as they will likely be a draw in the project's marketing campaign. Squid Game has put Korean television on the map internationally, and its success might have a compounding effect as Netflix heads into a busy year for K-drama.
