Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is getting his previous movies added to Netflix.
The streaming giant that hosts the South Korean survival series will also include some of Hwang's earlier work after the success of the program, which has become the most-watched series on the platform.
'Before bringing the visually astounding and socially relevant Squid Game to life, Hwang Dong-hyuk directed several acclaimed South Korean feature films — and now, three of those movies are available on Netflix in The US,' Netflix tweeted on Wednesday.

These include Silence, which was released in 2011. The plotline reads: Amid a multitude of cover-ups, a caring teacher attempts to expose several faculty members who are abusing students at a school for the deaf.
The second movie is 2014's Miss Granny, with a description that read: 'After learning she's being sent to a retirement home, an elderly widow wanders into a photo studio, where she emerges as her 20-year-old self.'
The third and final offering is 2017's The Fortress, which the streamer writes: 'When Qing forces attack the Joseon kingdom in the 17th century, King Injo and his retainers hold their ground at Namhansanseong, a historical mountain fortress.'
This development comes after the TV show - which stars Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo and HoYeon Jung- that critiques capitalism has generated $891 million in 'impact value' to Netflix, which translates to over 4.4 million new subscribers.
