The official “Farewell” trailer from Netflix for Squid Game, launched on July 16, 2025, has sparked curiosity and discussions about the series’ potential continuation.

Matthew B. Roberts served as an executive producer on the hit series “Outlander” since its debut, and things are looking promising for the upcoming spin-off, “Blood of My Blood,” following the early Season 2 renewal of the drama. During an interview with SFX Magazine via TopMob, Roberts revealed that “Blood of My Blood” is the origin story of Claire and Jamie’s parents, complete with a time travel twist that even Claire herself wasn’t aware of in both the show and the books. According to Claire, her parents had perished in a car accident when she was quite young. However, it appears that her memory may have been mistaken based on the trailer for the series. Roberts explained:

During a recent interview with Aster and actors Luke Grimes and Micheal Ward at the LA press day for the upcoming 2025 movie, I noticed the controversial feedback and asked the director about how he considers audience reactions in his creative process. He shared that when developing a screenplay, there are distinct stages, but initially, he writes based on what he personally wants to express. In his own words, this is what the filmmaker conveyed.

The vintage pine hardwood prop, still retaining its original paint and showing signs of wear from use during production, possibly minus rails used for scrap drives during wartime, has been in the possession of director Joe Dante since 1984. During his time directing ‘Explorers’ (1985), this prop was given to him by someone cleaning out a part of the Paramount lot that previously housed RKO Pictures.

Or, more concisely:

A worn pine hardwood prop, originally painted and possibly missing rails from wartime scrap drives, has been with director Joe Dante since 1984. He received it while working on ‘Explorers’ (1985) from someone clearing out the Paramount lot that once belonged to RKO Pictures.

The Majestic Theatre resumed operations in December, and by its closing, it had completed 269 regular performances and 28 previews. McDonald, a six-time Tony Award winner, was the main attraction for her portrayal of Rose, the iconic stage mother, in the George C. Wolfe-directed revival. The show’s billboards read “Audra. Gypsy.”
