What Squid Game Season 2’s Cameraman Mistake Means For The Series
It’s Not A First For High-Profile TV Shows
The filming mistake isn’t new to popular TV shows, with the most famous example beingGame of Thrones' Starbucks coffee cupin season 8, episode 4.

This means the editors forSquid Gameseason 3will need to be on high alert for any similar accidents in their footage.
