Squid Game

The South Korean show had the world hooked when it aired on Netflix in 2021 but creator Hwang Dong-hyuk spent almost a decade attempting to getting studios to make it.

He felt that the coronavirus pandemic highlighted the class struggles shown in the programme which made outlets more open to the idea.

Hwang told The Wall Street Journal: "The world has changed. All of these points made the story very realistic for people compared to a decade ago."
