'Squid Game' Season 2 Ends with Cliffhanger, Teases New Game in Shocking Credits Scene
December 26, 2024Season 2 of 'Squid Game' is now available for streaming on Netflix, and it concludes with a dramatic cliffhanger.
The finale leaves Gi-hun in a precarious situation after his rebellion against the Front Man is thwarted by Player 001, leading to the tragic death of his friend Jung-bae.
In a notable twist, the season introduces Cheol-su, a new giant robot doll boyfriend for Young-hee, who plays a significant role in the finale.
The shocking credits scene features several players behind Young-hee, culminating in a close-up of Cheol-su as the lights transition from red to green.
This post-credits scene hints at a new game that may involve a variation of 'Red Light, Green Light,' suggested by the train signal changing colors.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that the credits scene featuring Cheol-su serves as a teaser for Season 3, indicating a new game is on the horizon.
Hwang had previously teased Cheol-su's introduction in June 2022, although his character had limited presence in Season 2 due to the split between Seasons 2 and 3.
The post-credits scene also introduces three new players entering a game room with Young-hee, setting the stage for future developments.
With Season 3 confirmed for release in 2025, fans can anticipate more thrilling twists and new characters in the ongoing saga.
