Fans of Netflix’s hit Korean drama Squid Game have a reason to celebrate as the show makes a return with its second season on December 26, 2024. This season will serve as a prelude to the series' conclusion with its third and final season expected to launch in 2025.
The announcement comes as a holiday treat for viewers who have been eagerly awaiting the continuation of the story. Squid Game gained massive popularity since its debut in September 2021, captivating audiences worldwide with its unique and intense storyline. The show, which quickly became Netflix’s most-watched series, revolves around contestants who, in dire financial straits, participate in deadly children’s games for a life-changing cash prize.

The show's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, who also wrote, directed, and executive produced the series, shared his excitement about the upcoming season. In a letter accompanying the announcement, Dong-hyuk expressed how surreal it felt to return to the world of Squid Game after a three-year break. He wondered how the audience would feel revisiting the series after such a long time.

Season 2 promises to dive deeper into the dark and thrilling world of Squid Game. The new installment will follow Player 456, also known as Gi-hun, portrayed by Lee Jung-Jae, who is currently seen in The Acolyte. Gi-hun, determined to uncover the masterminds behind the deadly games, uses his winnings from the first season to track down leads. His journey begins with searching for the man in a sharp suit seen playing ddakji in the subway. However, Gi-hun’s quest to dismantle the game’s organization takes an unexpected turn, leading him back into the deadly arena he once escaped.

The series’ first season not only became a global phenomenon but also achieved critical acclaim. Squid Game was the first non-English language show to be nominated for Outstanding Drama Series at the Emmys. It received 14 nominations, with Lee Jung-Jae winning Outstanding Lead Actor and Dong-hyuk earning Best Director, marking the first time South Koreans won in these Emmy categories.

As viewers eagerly await the new season, the anticipation builds for how Gi-hun’s quest will unfold and how the series will wrap up in its final season. With its compelling narrative and intense drama, Squid Game continues to capture the attention and imagination of audiences around the world.
