The Show Halted Production
Casting was completed by June 17, 2020, which means “Squid Game” could have started filming a lot sooner, wrapped production and been released a lot sooner than it was. Unfortunately, the show had to halt production in August 2020 because of the pandemic.
But the setback was actually quite brief. In fact, filming reportedly resumed a month later in September 2020. Safety measures were put in place to ensure that the cast and crew were all cared for to reduce the risk of any health complications that could have stalled production further.
