‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Set to Premiere After Three-Year Wait

The global phenomenon returns with new games, characters, and a mission to dismantle the deadly competition from within.

Season 2 of the South Korean hit series 'Squid Game' premieres on Netflix on December 26, continuing the story of Seong Gi-hun as he re-enters the deadly games to stop them.
The first season, released in 2021, became Netflix's most-watched series ever, earning six Primetime Emmy Awards and widespread acclaim for its commentary on financial desperation and class disparity.
The new season features returning characters like Gi-hun, The Front Man, and the recruiter, while introducing a fresh cast of contestants and new, high-stakes games.
Since Season 1, the franchise has expanded with a reality competition show, 'Squid Game: The Challenge,' and in-person experiences in cities like New York and Madrid.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has teased that Season 2 will delve deeper into Gi-hun's trauma and determination, with a third season already planned for 2025.
