Squid Game season two is coming out later in 2024, Netflix has confirmed!

The streaming giants have revealed they're working towards the second half of 2024 as a deadline, but no date or month has been announced yet.

What will happen in Squid Game season two?

No official plot has been announced either, but the show’s director Hwang did confirm that Seong Gi-hun, the protagonist of the first season (played by Lee Jung-jae), will make a return in season two of the series and reprise his role.

He told the Associated Press: “I will promise you this, Gi-hun will come back. He will do something for the world.”

Lee Jung-jae also spoke to The Hollywood Reporter explaining, “I'm in constant and continuous talks with the production company about season 2, but I try not to talk to the director too much.”

“Because like you said, the creative process is really intense for him, and now with the added pressure of the show's global success, I know he must be going through such a hard time. So I don't want to be another factor adding to the pain of the creative process, which I know so well from my own writing experience. But I have total faith that he will write a great story for season two, and I wait in anticipation with everyone else.”

Is there a trailer for Squid Game season two?

In the first teaser trailer for Squid Game season two Gi-hun, still with his red hair, is seen on the phone. The person on the line tells him: “You will regret your decision” and he sternly responds: “I will find you. No matter what it takes.”

It comes after the first series ended with Gi-hun turning his back on his plans to move to America, literally walking away from the aeroplane to no doubt find out more about why the Squid Games were started and who else is behind the operation.
