The return of the thrilling K-drama was officially confirmed in June 2022 – quite unsurprising given its popularity and success.

In the latter half of 2021, you found yourself hiding under a rock, missing out on the complete phenomenon of Korean series like Squid Game on Netflix.

The battle of intelligence had seized the imagination of the entire world, ultimately steering some towards the fascinating stream of Korean content available to viewers worldwide.

The drama was so riveting that Netflix couldn’t resist but birth an intriguing reality show:

Squid Game: The Challenge, which is currently being released in batches on the streaming platform.

But for now, let’s revisit the drama of Squid Game – just as we imagine it has brought you here.

For more than two years now, fans have been deep in contemplation, reflecting on the twists of Gi-hun’s destiny unveiled in the climactic conclusion of the inaugural season, wondering just how extended their anticipation will stretch.

Expected release date for Squid Game Season 2: When can we hope for Squid Game Season 2? In February 2023,

breakout star Lee Jung-jae revealed that shooting for Squid Game Season 2 had commenced during the summer and was expected to last for approximately 10 months because “[it] will be on a large scale.”

Netflix confirmed this when, in July, they announced that filming had started that month, with hopes for it to continue for the duration Lee Jung-jae mentioned (via What’s New on Netflix).

This implies that fans can expect to reunite with their favorite bloodthirsty K-drama in the latter half of 2024.

However, don’t hold your breath for a summer release; we won’t expect anything until the cold seasons due to post-production. If this feels like an agonizing wait, console yourself with the fact that work on Squid Game Season 3 might also be in progress.

In December 2021, Hwang, according to Korean broadcaster KBS (via Korea Times), stated, “I am negotiating with Netflix for Season 3 along with Season 2. We will reach any conclusion soon.”

Cast of Squid Game Season 2: Who’s making a comeback for Squid Game Season 2? Keeping the nature of Squid Game in mind, don’t anticipate too many familiar faces in the upcoming season. Except for one contestant from the first season, all others met their demise.

But the one person we know we can trust for a return is Seong Gi-hun, who, after surviving the game, is tempted to come back when he sees someone else recruited for the mega-life-and-death game. Previous players – including actors Park Hae-soo, Oh Yeong-su, and Jang Hyeon – might make a potential return,

possibly in flashbacks, as Gi-hun re-enters the game, remembering his fallen friends.

Hwang previously told Reuters, “So many characters died, especially dear people.
I deeply regret the ease with which I ended their lives; it was unforeseen and not something I anticipated.

A friend’s bio-data also died,” so he is “thinking about what to do.”

Squid Game Season 2 Plot: What to Expect in Squid Game Season 2?

At the end of the first season of Squid Game, Gi-hun emerged victorious despite facing numerous challenges in the game.
However, the play is far from concluded. After the death of the creator of Squid Game, Gi-hun discovers that the competition with new players is still ongoing.

With all this in mind, continuing the story with the center stage of Gi-hun seems natural. He’s committed to taking every possible step to halt the game, just as he pledged in those concluding minutes. The trajectory of Season Two appears to align with this commitment.

“I’m not sure how things have progressed and how everything fits together, but director Hwang just revealed that Seong Gi-hun will soon return to the show and step back onto the field,” Lee Jung-jae revealed to others.

Adding to that, one might reasonably speculate that, just like the culmination of Season One revealed, the central theme of Season Two will revolve around a narrative of retribution.

In Season One, the main figure controlling the workings of the games was Lee Byung-hun, so it feels like both of us will be central characters in this next story.”
