Good news for all Squid Game fans as the hit Korean Netflix show has become the first non-English show to bag nomination for the Producers Guild of America award. The K-drama series has bagged the nomination under the 'Best Episodic Drama' category, alongside The Morning Show, The Handmaid’s Tale, Yellowstone and Succession.
The 33rd edition of the Producers Guild Award has been postponed amid the COVID-19 scenario and will now take place on March 19 at the Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles. Just weeks ago, Squid Game also became the first non-English language TV series to be nominated for the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) award. It received four nominations, with Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-yeon getting nods for the best actor. The SAG Awards are slated to happen on February 27.
Squid Game recently became Netflix's "biggest-ever series at launch". The dystopian series, in which contestants who are deeply in need of money play deadly children's games to win cash prizes, has been viewed by more than a 100 million accounts since debuting on Netflix September 17.
