The highly anticipated teaser of Squid Game Season 2 has been released, giving fans a glimpse of the return of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) to the deadly game.

The one minute and fifty-five second teaser reveals that Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, will be stepping back into the game with a new perspective: as a previous winner. This season will likely see Gi-hun take on a mentor-like role, attempting to guide fellow players through the dangerous challenges of the game.

Returning cast members Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon and Gong Yoo reprise their important roles, promising continuity with last season’s entertaining events. Joining them are new players, including Lee Gyu-young, Yim Siwan, and T.O.P among others, adding fresh faces to the high-stakes drama.

Scheduled to begin streaming on Netflix on December 26, 2024, Squid Game Season 2 builds on the deeper themes of survival and psychological stress that made the first season a global phenomenon.

The first season of Squid Game released in 2021. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the initial season became the most watched series of the year.
