Listen, the fact that Squid Game is getting a second season has been pretty much guaranteed since the first season ended. The cliffhanger was perfectly designed to set up a second season. And as if that wasn't proof enough, the showrunners came out and stated that yes, season 2 of Squid Game is coming this winter! Hoorah!

In early 2024, fans got a first glimpse at Squid Game Season 2, and now we finally got the first proper trailer and official release date.

Squid Game Season 2: Release Date & First Look

IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS. DO YOU WANT TO PLAY AGAIN?

After we got our first look on Squid Game 2 earlier this year, now we finally got a mini hype trailer... AND the official release date.

It's now officially confirmed that Squid Game's second season will come out on Netflix this winter, on December 26, 2024.

But that wasn't all, at the end of the trailer Netflix took it up a notch and announced the final season, which will be season 3. To our surprise, they don't waste time on long waits like last time. Squid Game season 3 will be released only one year later in 2025.

Director and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk shared before that he's looking forward to the second season, spoke about his appreciation for the show and fans and also shared some more hints about what to expect.

If you're curious about who is gonna make their return for the second season, the post from Hwang Dong-hyuk confirms two returning characters, as well as one possible return and a new "character". It's pretty obvious that there won't be many returning characters, since most of them died in season 1.

But here are the one's that have been confirmed:

  • Lee Jung-jae as Gi-Hun
  • Lee Byung-hun as the Front Man
  • Gong Yoo as the man in the suit with the ddakji
  • Wi Ha-joon as Hwang Jun-ho

Newcomers include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, and Won Ji-an – a whole set of new characters.

Squid Game Season 2 Plot

Where the first season of Squid Game showed viewers the fascinating and brutal world of "people playing games... and dying if they lose", the second season will follow Gi-hun and his life after the games.

His plans were to just ball and go to the US, because why the hell not, but something more important needs to be done instead: "he begins a chase with an important motive." Sounds like a revenge plot to me.

As soon as we have more news to share, you can count on us to update you. Bet.
