Netflix has announced that the second season of Squid Game will premiere on Boxing Day, December 26, 2024, followed by a third and final season in 2025.
Back in 2021’s season 1, we were introduced to a down-on-his-luck Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who’s invited to participate in a secret competition where 456 players, all of whom are in deep financial hardship, risk their lives to play a series of deadly children’s games for the chance to win a life-changing cash prize.
Season 2 will pick up again with Gi-hun.
The synopsis reads:
“Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organisation proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
Last year, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said future seasons of the South Korean drama would be “worth the wait”.
