Great news, for fans of Squid Game. Netflix announced that Season 2 is set to return on December 26th, 2024! This comes after a long wait of over 3 years since the first season wowed audiences globally and became Netflix’s most popular show ever.
The upcoming season will pick up 3 years after the events of the first season. The protagonist, Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), is determined to dismantle the deadly game that he once survived. His journey will lead him back into the game, where he must confront new contestants and challenges while seeking revenge against those who orchestrate the brutal competition.

- Lee Byung-hun as The Front Man
New faces joining the cast include:
- Yim Si-wan

Netflix has hinted at more casting announcements, particularly regarding female characters, which were notably absent in initial teasers.
Trailer Insights: Season 2
A brief teaser released during Netflix Geeked Week shows Gi-hun back in his iconic uniform amidst new contestants. The trailer hints at intense new games and confrontations with familiar masked figures from Season 1. While specific details about the games remain under wraps, anticipation is high for what lies ahead.
Looking Ahead: Season 3
In addition to the second season, Netflix has confirmed that a 3rd and final season is already in the works, expected to be released sometime in 2025. This suggests a continued exploration of both Gi-hun’s quest for justice and the broader implications of deadly games on society.
As fans eagerly await December 26, it’s clear that Squid Game will once again challenge its characters—and viewers—with moral dilemmas and thrilling twists.
