Squid Game centers on a group of poverty-stricken people who agree to take part in a series of children’s games for a chance to win a life-changing prize – only to learn they have deadly consequences. After winning the game in Season 1, Seong Gi-hun aka Player 456 decided to make his return, take revenge on the Front Man, and end the games for good.
The trailer for Season 2 sees him stepping back into the arena and fighting for his life with a group of new players. Several games from the first season, such as “Red Light, Green Light” will return in the next chapter, but the trailer also teases the introduction of deadly new games.
Lee Jung-jae returns in the lead role, while the list of supporting players includes Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, Gong Yoo, Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an.
Squid Game will return to Netflix for Season 2 on December 26, and it will end its run with the final third season set to premiere sometime next year.
The amazing news was shared in Netflix’s recent letter to investors, which stated, “Looking ahead, despite last year’s strikes pushing back the launch of some titles, we have a big, bold slate for 2024.” They singled out Squid Game as one of the shows set to return this year, along with The Diplomat and Bridgerton.
The first season of Squid Game centered on a group of people taking part in a series of children’s games with deadly consequences for a chance to win a cash prize that could change their lives. It went on to become Netflix’s most-watched series to this date, with 1.65 billion viewing hours and 111 million accounts reached in the first 28 days alone.
Season 2 will feature several returning cast members, including Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo. They’ll be joined by many newcomers to this twisted world, starting with Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-Neul, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, and Yim Si-wan.
CODA wasn’t a clear favorite for the main award of the night—an outstanding performance by a cast in a motion picture—but it managed to come out victorious after facing tough competition in Belfast, Don’t Look Up, The House of Gucci, and King Richard.
Troy Kotsur also managed to pick up the award for his supporting turn in this movie. The list of winners in the individual categories included best actor Will Smith (King Richard), best actress Jessica Chastain (The Eyes of Tammy Faye), and best-supporting actress Ariana DeBose (West Side Story).
When it comes to the TV categories, the ensemble awards went to clear favorites—Succession for drama and Ted Lasso for comedy. Despite their triumph in the main field, Squid Game was the biggest winner of the night with three awards, including best actor and actress in a drama (Lee Jung-jae and Jung Ho-Yeon), and best stunt ensemble.
This year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards took place on February 27th at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
