In June 2022, the series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told Vanity Fair that new episodes will likely arrive in 2023 or 2024, and, yes… there will be more games. “Humanity is going to be put to a test through those games once again,” he said, adding that Gi-Hun will most definitely return.
The filming will start shortly, given the creator’s confession that the idea and premise are already in their heads. Therefore, fans can expect Season 2 by the end of 2023 or the beginning of 2024. Until then, All Squid Game lovers should keep an eye out for more information and an exact release date for Squid Game season 2.
Squid Game Season 2 Plot
In the final episode, when Gi-hun stumbles across the Salesman recruiting another player, he realizes that the Game will restart. Therefore, he decides to stay in Korea just before leaving for America in the hopes of finally putting an end to the Game.
Fans are left with the hope that Gi hun’s story will go on, with the winner joining forces with others to end the secret, worldwide death Game. Except for Gi hun’s reappearance, everything is still in the air.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hwang said how Season Two is going to be a natural expansion from the concluding events of the first season. he made it clear that for the second season, he isn’t swabbing into fan theories or what viewers have asked to see from the series. He is planning to pick up where they left off and carry the story on as it was originally planned. Here’s his quote:
I’ve seen many reactions from people about the show, but I don’t want to make season two as a response to those reactions. The philosophies I put in season one all naturally extend to season two. Instead of trying to meet the expectations of viewers, I just thought about the last moment when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane, and I thought about what he will do next. There will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season. I can’t share any details yet, but you know that Seong Gi-hun has become a totally new person by the end of season one, so season two is going to be about what that new Gi-hun is going to do and how things will unfold with this new kind of character.
There is also no assurance that a continuation will occur even in Korea. Season 1 made clear that lethal Games are being played worldwide, with wealthy men from many nations betting on the results. Therefore, the next season has many unanticipated surprises waiting for you all.
Squid Game Season 2 Cast
As you are already aware, Season 1 saw a lot of deaths, leaving a drastically reduced cast for the next season. That implies that many new characters need to be introduced. Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun a.k.a. Player 456 and game director “The Front Man,” will make a comeback.
Hwang said that he would like to bring back some of the dead characters, such as Ji-young, and expressed regret that he had killed off several precious characters since he did not have any plans for a second season at that time. Hwang confirmed that “we’ll also be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su,” indicating that there’s another killer doll stalking out there.
