The first real details about “Squid Game” season 2 have been revealed including characters who will be returning and some hints about what else may be coming…
“Squid Game” is officially returning for season 2 on Netflix and the first details about the upcoming episodes have finally been revealed.
The Korean series was a massive success for the streaming service after first debuting in 2021, while quickly becoming the most watched series in history. Now creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed a few new details about what he’s planning for season 2 after it took him 12 years to get the first season made.
When “Squid Game” ended, there was only one survivor in the deadly game as Gi-hun — the down-on-his-luck gambler and absentee father — claimed the prize worth several million dollars but it came at the expense of so many other players who perished before him.
Now Gi-hun — played by Lee Jung-jae — will return for the second season along with the mysterious Front Man — portrayed by star actor Lee Byung-hun — who oversees the competition itself.
A few more teases included the possible return of Gong Yoo, who portrayed the recruiter for the deadly competition while tempting people with a game of ddakji, which is a traditional Korean game involving players attempting to flip each other’s tiles.
Another teaser revealed that Young-hee’s boyfriend Cheol-su would appear in the upcoming season.
Young-hee was the name of a little girl character that appeared in children’s textbooks in Korea that was then appropriated to make a giant sized version used in the “Red Light, Green Light” game that started off the competition for players. Each player had to run towards a finish line but when Young-hee shouted “red light” they had to stop and stay motionless or snipers would shoot them dead.
In Korean books, Cheol-su was the little boy who shared adventures with Young-hee so you can only imagine how that will turn out for the newest edition of “Squid Game.”

Netflix also released the first poster image for the upcoming season that accompanied the news that “Squid Game” was returning. There’s no word on when the show might actually return to Netflix because production hasn’t actually started just yet.
