“Squid Game Season 2″: First glimpse into the highly anticipated return of the successful Korean series on Netflix.
The upcoming season of the successful thriller, scheduled for release in 2024, is set to feature new participants and focus on Gi Hun's (Lee Jung Jae) quest for revenge.
As Season 1 of Squid Game concludes, Gi Hun opts out of the flight intended to reunite him with his daughter. An exclusive Netflix clip teases the second installment, showcasing the protagonist's unwavering determination for revenge. In a phone call, he declares, "I will find you, no matter what." Expectations run high for the return of the iconic Korean series that captivated audiences on the platform in 2021. This time, the production endeavors to recreate the level of intrigue and action, bringing back familiar characters and introducing new faces in episodes scheduled for release sometime in 2024.
Accompanying the initial video teaser, the entertainment site also presents visuals from the narrative crafted by Hwang Dong Hyuk. Gong Yoo, Lee Jung Jae, and Lee Byung Hun join forces with Im Si Wan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Young, and other talented South Korean individuals.
Anticipating Season 2:
Witnessing the first part of Squid Game on screen was a dream come true for its director and creator. Bringing the concept to life and securing an investor willing to take a chance on it was a 12-year journey. Now standing as one of the most-watched series in Netflix's history, Hwang acknowledges the pressure to deliver a satisfying continuation. "I have a lot on my shoulders, but I will ensure it's worth it," he expressed to Netflix in December.
While the official synopsis is yet to be defined, hints suggest a new iteration of the intense competition. The iconic "red light, green light" moment is expected to return, accompanied by other seemingly innocent games with potentially deadly consequences.

Lee Jung Jae reprises his role as the protagonist in the series, while Gong Yoo returns as the recruiter of participants, and Lee Byung Hun takes on a more prominent role as the boss in Squid Game. Additionally, Wi Ha Joon's participation was announced, bringing with him a dramatic secret about his missing brother from the previous installment.
As for the newcomers to the cast, Netflix introduces Park Gyu Young (Sweet Home) as a woman invited to join the games. Other characters will be portrayed by Im Si Wan (Emergency Landing), Kang Ha Neul (When the Camellia Blooms), Park Sung Hoon (The Glory), Jo Yu Ri, Lee Jing Uk (Sweet Home), former K-pop singer T.O.P, among others.
“Squid Game: The Challenge”
Netflix capitalized on the impact of the Korean fiction and expanded the concept with the production of a reality show. Clearly, this program does not replicate the fatal consequences of the series, but it did deliver a prize as impressive as the one promised in the thriller. A single winner walked away with 4.56 million U.S. dollars after defeating 456 participants.
Just as with the original content, the streaming platform gave the green light to a second season of the reality show Squid Game: The Challenge in December 2023.
