Press Release
Netflix's announcement about "Squid Game" is sure to excite fans! Season 2 is set to premiere on December 26, and it seems like the stakes are higher than ever with the introduction of an Olympics-themed teaser. The image of athletes in tracksuits being overtaken by the iconic green-suited contestants adds a dramatic twist to the series.
In Season 2, “three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport,” per the official synopsis. “Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
Lee Jung-jae’s return as Gi-hun/Player 456, along with other key cast members like Lee Byung-hun and Wi Ha-jun, is a promising sign for Season 2. Gong Yoo's involvement as the game’s recruiter adds an extra layer of intrigue. It’s also exciting to see Hwang Dong-hyuk, who earned such acclaim for Season 1, back as the creative force behind the series.
“Squid Game” really made waves when it premiered in September 2021, and its success is reflected in the impressive Emmy recognition and its position as Netflix's most-watched original series. With Season 2 on the way and Season 3 planned as the final installment, it looks like fans can expect more of the high-stakes drama and suspense that made the show a global sensation.
