Squid Game Season 2 is set to premiere on December 26, 2024, following the massive success of the first season.

The original Squid Game quickly became Netflix's most-watched series, amassing over 1.65 billion views within the first 28 days of its release in 2021.

After being renewed in 2022, updates on the new season were sparse until production confirmation at Netflix Tudum in June 2023.

Netflix has kept details about the new season under wraps, creating suspense and speculation among fans.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has indicated that Season 2 will depict Gi-hun seeking revenge, showcasing a darker and more serious character.

The plot will follow Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, as he seeks to dismantle the deadly games from within after witnessing a calling card.

Set three years after Gi-hun's victory, the new season promises dangerous games with high stakes, similar to the first.

Participants in Season 2 will compete for a prize of 45.6 billion won, raising the stakes even higher.

A teaser trailer released on August 1, 2024, showcases returning characters and introduces new players, including popular South Korean actors.

Netflix is generating excitement with teasers and new details, encouraging fans to share their anticipation for the upcoming season.

Fans speculate that the new characters could either assist Gi-hun in his quest or pose a threat to his survival and success.

A third and final season of Squid Game is planned for release in 2025, following the anticipated second season.
