‘Squid Game S2’ – The Game Is Back And The Stakes Are Higher [Trailer]

The game never stops. Squid Game season two arrives exclusively on Netflix on December 26th, 2024.

Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game premiered in 2021 and quickly became Netflix’s most popular series ever. This global sensation boosted interest in K-content, iconic moments went viral, Vans slip-on sneakers sales increased 8,000%, and Halloween costumes sold out around the world, solidifying their place in pop culture. The series made Emmy history with first-ever wins for a non-English language series.

Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who made history at the 74th Primetime Emmys® becoming the first Asian to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series, once again helms the series as director, writer, and producer. Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo reprise their roles from Season 1 with an impeccable list of new cast members including Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an rounding out the ensemble of colorful characters in the new season.

The third and final season has already been picked up and should debut sometime in 2025.

It was written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk.
