A lot of fans thought that the first season of Squid Game was already pretty well-contained, but it looks like Netflix is ready to come back to the world—after all, the show did become a worldwide phenomenon.
Squid Game Season 2 is now ready to hit Netflix later this December, and we have a whole new trailer giving us an idea of what to expect. Watch this:
Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.
Compared to the first game where Gi-hun is just as clueless as the rest of the participants, it looks like he’s going to be navigating the game differently this time, actually convincing others to not play the game as it was intended.
Of course, there are some characters that look to be disruptors to Gi-hun’s plan, but you can’t expect any excitement to come from the story if everyone just plays along.
The first season of the show was such a surprise hit that even director Hwang Dong-hyuk had been vocal about not expecting the audience reaction as well. Though it’s great that Squid Game was a hit, the pressure is now on for Hwang to deliver another fantastic season of adults doing playground games to save their own lives.
Hopefully, he’ll manage to stick the landing.
Watch out for Squid Game 2 when it comes to Netflix on Dec. 26.
