The trailer alone has left me on the edge of my seat, eagerly anticipating the return of Lee Jung-jae’s Gi-hun and the deadly contests he must navigate once more.

The popular Korean thriller series by Netflix, titled “Squid Game“, is coming back with more challenges in December. A fresh trailer gives us a glimpse into what we can expect from the upcoming season 2.

The show titled Squid Game achieved unparalleled fame on Netflix. Not only did it surpass all other foreign language TV series in terms of viewership on Netflix, but it also broke records as the most-watched series overall. This remarkable feat has yet to be surpassed. Given its popularity, a second season of Squid Game was quickly planned and is now under development. The plot of Squid Game involves 456 financially desperate individuals competing against each other in a covert tournament featuring lethal versions of childhood games, with the winner taking home 45.6 billion South Korean won. In the first season, the victorious player, Gi-hun, walked away with the prize money but also harbored a strong desire for vengeance against the game creators due to their exploitative nature.

Squid Game Season 2 Trailer Confirms New Story Details

A fresh trailer for “Squid Game” Season 2 has been unveiled by Netflix, offering glimpses into what we can expect in the upcoming season. In this new installment, it’s suggested that character Gi-hun, previously known as player 456, will reenter the games three years after his initial victory. However, given his past experiences, he now takes on a mentor role, guiding the other players through each of the lethal competitions. Some classic games from Season 1 make a comeback, such as Red Light, Green Light, but it seems there will be fresh obstacles for the players to overcome in “Squid Game” Season 2. Additionally, Gi-hun is depicted trying to persuade the participants to vote to quit the game, only for it to be revealed that he himself is a returning player.

In the season finale, it wasn’t entirely obvious how Gi-hun got drawn back into another round of the game, but he vowed to put an end to the Frontman and the sinister challenges. It appears that his objective might be to dismantle their operations from within, which would require him to last through each game until he gets a chance to act.

Familiar Faces Return From Squid Game Season 1

In addition to Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Gi-hun, we see Lee Byung-hun return as Hwang In-ho, also known as the Frontman and the mastermind behind the games. The traumatic experiences of the games have transformed Gi-hun’s cheerful disposition into resilient determination, leading to a tense confrontation between the two. Similarly, Wi Ha-jun is back as Hwang Jun-ho, the detective who was on a mission to find his brother last season, only to discover that his sibling was actually the Frontman. Although Season 1 ended with Jun-ho’s fate hanging in the balance after he was shot and fell from a cliff, it seems he has made it through and is ready for a new challenge in Squid Game Season 2.

For your consideration: The second installment of Squid Game marks only the beginning of a series of K-drama productions on Netflix. Excitingly, they’ve announced that there will be a third and concluding season of Squid Game, scheduled for release in 2025. Additionally, an English remake of the show is under development, with renowned director David Fincher at the helm.

Squid Game Season 2 will be released on Netflix on December 26, 2024.
