Today (November 27), the streaming service unveiled the new trailer for Squid Game season two. It begins with a new slate of characters receiving their invitations to the games, with detective Jun-ho himself discovering a letter to join.
It later cuts to Lee Jung-jae’s Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, who won the first season’s games. He enters a white limousine, where he is confronted by the voice of the Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun), and demands to be “put back in the game”.
“I’m trying to put an end to this game,” he tells a fellow contestant. However, the Front Man has a starkly contrasting resolution: “The game will not end unless the world changes.” Season two of Squid Game will be available to stream on Netflix on December 26.
Squid Game is a South Korean drama series first released in 2021. The titular game is a competition in which its contestants– many of whom struggle in life – play rounds of deadly modified children’s games to win a life-changing cash prize.
Netflix has released several teasers for the second season, the latest of which was a ‘Backrooms’ preview of the show’s set released yesterday (November 26), filmed in a first-person-filmed found footage format. Back in August, it also confirmed that Squid Game had been renewed for a third and final season.
