The filmmaker spoke about the idea that he had for a TV adaptation of the movie. He stated that while he was working on the script of the film, he had many pivotal ideas that are accumulated.

Bong Joon Ho further told an entertainment-based news organisation that he couldn’t include all those ideas in a two-hour-long film. He has hence stored all those ideas on his iPad and he aspires to make a six-hour-long film with the limited series. The television series is expected to start filming in 2021.
