Squid Game Season 2: Release Date Is Confirmed & Everything Else We Know About It
The deadly games are almost back!
Squid Game, which became the most popular series on Netflix in 2021, is getting a second season. Here is everything we know about the second and third seasons of the project.
In February 2024, Netflix officially showed the first teaser for the upcoming sequel to the South Korean hit. In the video presenting the upcoming releases, the platform showed a 17-second clip, the events of which unfold at the airport.
Seong Gi-hun Will Try to Stop the Games
The winner of the first season of Squid Game – Seong Gi-hun – is on the phone. An unknown voice threatens him, saying that he will regret his decision to tell the truth. However, such threats have no effect on former player 456, as he will not give up his plans under any circumstances.
Obviously, the events shown in the clip take place immediately after the end of the first season. The final scene takes place at the airport as Seong Gi-hun is about to fly to the US to see his daughter, but notices the recruiter who once invited him to the game. He decides to take his business card and calls the number on it.
Based on the available information, it can be assumed that the main focus of the season will be Seong Gi-hun. He will try to prevent the deadly games from continuing. The organizers can kidnap the main character's daughter to put pressure on him.
New Trailer Reveals Fresh Details
As the fresh trailer presented by Netflix shows, Seong Gi-hun will somehow end up in the game again. Either of his own free will or under pressure from the organizers. Either way, the main character will clearly be determined to confront the organizers of the deadly competitions.
In the short video, Seong Gi-hun, who refused to fly to the United States in the finale of the first season, appears again in the uniform of contestant number 456. The promotional materials also made room for the cash prize and a brief glimpse of the challenges the players will face.
At the same time, there are still few details about the new difficulties for the characters. But it looks like the main character will come face to face with game master Hwang In-ho.
We can also expect the appearance of seemingly dead characters. After all, as the first season showed, not everything that happens in Squid Game can be trusted.
Will There Be Season 3?
Almost three years have passed since the release of the first season of Squid Game, but any information about the continuation attracts attention. Netflix is clearly ready to invest in the development of the popular franchise.
It seems that if everything goes well, viewers can expect not only a second, but also a third season. Moreover, the director of the series, Hwang Dong-hyuk, stated that he is in talks about further work on the sequel.
Squid Game Season 2 Release Date
Squid Game Season 2 will premiere on Netflix on December 26, 2024.
