Squid Game season 2 is coming to Netflix in 2024, and fans can’t wait to see what happens next in the twisted world of the deadly games.
Netflix has unveiled the first teaser and images of the new season, featuring some familiar faces and new characters.
The teaser in their 2024 preview continues from the end of the first season and reveals the main character, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), getting a strange call at the airport. After surviving the deadly Games, he swears to track down the caller at any price.
Netflix also released four photos from the new season. They show Gi-hun, the Recruiter (Gong Yoo) and a new character played by Park Gyu-young. The Recruiter, who lured Gi-hun into the Games in the first season, is seen wearing a mask and holding a briefcase. Park Gyu-young’s character, whose name and role are unknown, is seen wearing a red jumpsuit and holding a gun. She appears to be in a new location, possibly related to the Games.
Squid Game season 2 will continue the story of Gi-hun, who won 45.6 billion won ($38 million) from the Games, but was unable to enjoy his life after witnessing the deaths of his friends and hundreds of other players. He also learned that the mastermind behind the Games was his old friend Oh Il-nam (Oh Young-soo), who was also Player 001. Il-nam died before Gi-hun could confront him fully, but not before revealing that the Games were still ongoing and that there were other VIPs involved.
The season 2 will also explore the fate of some characters, like Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), who was a police officer and the brother of Player 111. He infiltrated the Games as a guard and discovered the secrets behind them, but was shot by the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who turned out to be his brother.
Additionally, according to reports, the new cast members we will be seeing in this new season include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, and more. Their roles and how they will be involved in the Games are still unknown, but fans can expect some surprises and twists.
Squid Game season 2 will be released on Netflix in 2024, but the exact date has not been announced yet.
