Netflix has premiered the much-awaited trailer for ‘Squid Game’ Season 2. The new season of the globally acclaimed Korean series will premiere on December 26 on Netflix
A second round of deadly chaos awaits in the world of Squid Game. On Wednesday, Netflix premiered the much-awaited trailer for Squid Game Season 2.
Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the globally acclaimed Korean series revolves around a fictitious game show where contestants risk their lives to win 45.6 billion wons.
The second season of Squid Game marks the return of Lee Jung-jae as Player 456. Despite winning in the first season, Gi-hun/Player 456’s conscience isn’t resting easy. “Put me back in the game,” he says in the trailer, determined to re-enter the world of Squid Game and end its evil machinations for good.
Forced to play a new set of games, Gi-hun finds himself locked in a tense battle with the shadowy Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy.
Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo reprise their roles from Season 1 with a 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.
“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,” reads a synopsis of Season 2.
The new season of Squid Game will premiere on December 26. The makers have already confirmed a third and final season, slated for 2025. Meanwhile, an English-language adaptation of the series is being developed by David Fincher.
