Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk in 2021, Squid Game rapidly became one of Netflix’s most popular shows, garnering a larger and devoted fan base. Although the series concluded with a finale that determined the fate of most characters, its phenomenal success paved the way for a second season, whose release date is now around the corner.
While Netflix has spent the last year dropping teasers for Squid Game Season 2, the official trailer has now officially been released by the streaming giant, and it is safe to say that it was worth the wait. In this article, we will dive into the latest trailer along with a few other details of the upcoming season so you don’t miss out on anything!
A Ferocious and Jaw-Dropping Trailer!
For starters, Lee Jung-jae is back in Squid Game Season 2 and right at the center of the madness, as shown in the official trailer of the series, because, unlike others, this survivor chose to return to the game. Jung-jae will reprise his role as Seong Gi-hun in the upcoming season, and he is ready to fight in hopes of bringing change, but it is certainly easier said than done, as depicted in the brutal glimpses of Season 2.
The official trailer of Squid Game Season 2 reintroduces Gi-hun, along with several new characters who find themselves attempting to survive as their desperation for money reaches its peak. As of now, it is too soon to tell if Season 2 will be as successful, or more successful than the first season, but the official trailer is much more barbaric and ruthless than one would have expected it to be, and we’re here for it!
The Cast of Squid Game Season 2
While the first season of Squid Game witnessed the death of several beloved characters, the new season welcomes a range of new actors and actresses who are all set to be a part of the game that will change their lives. Some of the new cast members include Yim Si-wan (Strangers From Hell, Emergency Declaration), Park Gyu-young (A Good Day to Be a Dog, The Devil Judge), Yang Dong-Geun (Ruler of Your Own World, Fighter in the Wind), Lee David (Law School, Be Positive), and Choi Seung-Hyun (Commitment, Tazza: The Hidden Card) among others.
