The first trailer for Squid Game Season 2 has premiered, marking the highly anticipated return of Player 456, Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae.
Three years after surviving the brutal games, Gi-hun returns to the deadly arena, joined by hundreds of new participants hoping to escape the life-threatening challenges.
In an eerie callback to Season 1, the trailer reveals familiar games like Red Light, Green Light, as well as new, more perilous challenges. Despite Gi-hun’s efforts to lead the players to safety, the allure of the cash prize—seen filling the giant piggy bank above them—proves hard to resist, with players chanting, “One more game.”
Returning characters include the mysterious masked Front Man and police detective Hwang Jun-ho, while director Hwang Dong-hyuk promises “more intriguing games” and a larger cast.
With Season 1 capturing global attention and amassing 1.65 billion viewing hours, Netflix is betting on another hit as it releases Season 2 on December 26, 2024. As the streaming platform strives to grow its audience amid fierce competition, *Squid Game* remains central to Netflix’s success in its international content strategy. A third and final season is set to arrive in 2025, as fans eagerly anticipate how Gi-hun’s quest for answers will unfold.
