As the holiday season approaches, Netflix fans are eagerly anticipating the release of the highly anticipated second season of Squid Game. This South Korean series took the streaming world by storm when it first premiered in 2021, and now, after much anticipation, it is finally back.
For those who may have missed the first season, Squid Game revolves around a deadly competition where 456 people in financial distress risk their lives to participate in a series of children's games for a chance to win billions of dollars. The series became Netflix's most-watched show and garnered critical acclaim, winning numerous awards such as 3 Golden Globes and 14 Emmys.
The trailer for season 2 has been released, giving fans a glimpse of what's to come. We see the return of champion player Seong Gi-hun, three years after his victory in the game. He is joined by a new group of players, but despite his warnings that the money is not worth the risk, they choose to continue playing, leading to chaos and mayhem.
The new season sees another 456 players enter the dangerous game, with the infamous masked guards welcoming them and explaining the rules. After each game, the players can decide as a group whether to continue playing or split the money evenly and walk away. But as they enter the arena to play the first game, Red Light, Green Light, it becomes clear that it's every man for himself.
In a shocking scene, one player tells a woman next to him that there is a bee on her, causing her to flail around and get shot in the head. Despite Seong Gi-hun's pleas for the players to focus on escaping the game, they turn on him, leading to intense and spine-tingling moments throughout the trailer.
Fans have been eagerly sharing their excitement for the new season on social media, with many saying they can't wait to binge-watch the episodes. The trailer has also revealed that actor Lee Jung-jae will be returning after his character's survival in the first season.
Writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk has teased that the biggest difference between the two seasons is that while the first focused on Seong Gi-hun's journey to winning the game, the second will delve into his memories and experiences as he returns to the game to put an end to the injustice.
With the immense success of the first season, Dong-hyuk has admitted feeling pressure to make the second season even better. And while fans may have to wait four more years for the third and final season, they can at least look forward to the release of season 2 on December 26th.
