Netflix has officially given the green light to season 2 of the hit series Squid Game. The broadcaster released a brief teaser and a message from series creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk confirming the return of his favorite characters and a new deadly doll.
After the Korean series Squid Game became a worldwide phenomenon, making a second season was a no-brainer for Netflix. Season 1 of Squid Game took the world by storm when it hit Netflix in 2021, generating nearly $1 billion in profits for Netflix shortly after its release, a record high.
Netflix has finally officially confirmed that Squid Game was going to officially return to its platform for a second season. According to a message from director Hwang Dong-hyuk, the second season will see the return of Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man. The note also states that ” the man in the suit with the ddakji might be back ” and we will also meet Cheol-su, Young-hee’s boyfriend.
When could the second season of Squid Game arrive?
Netflix has not yet revealed an exact date for the release of the second season of Squid Game, and has simply announced that it will arrive “soon”. As a reminder, in the language of Netflix, this means that it will be launched between now and the end of the world.
We imagine that it will take wait a while longer before being able to enjoy a season 2. Director Hwang reminds the guys that it took “ 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series of all time “Hwang wrote.
The creator of Squid Game had already announced previously that season 2 would not be released before 2024. Very busy with the release of his latest film, he has not yet made much progress on the scenario for the sequel to the cult series. Even before the arrival of the second season, we know that a third season is already in discussion with Netflix. Seeing Netflix work on other seasons is good news, since if you’re a fan of Korean series, you surely know that it’s extremely rare to see a series get a season 2, no matter how successful it is.
