Squid Game Season 2: Release Date, Cast, Boss, Episodes
Like Season 1 of squid game, Season 2 is going to stream on Netflix, so we will keep our eyes peeled for the streaming giant to drop more details about the series when it is released. The creators of the show have not released any concrete details, so it seems fans of the series will be left with a laundry list of questions regarding the second season, such as when it is returning and the direction that the show is going. The show's creator told Variety way back in September that they are in no hurry to get another season developed, so fans should not expect The Show to be back for some time. While never touted as being a limited series, The Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety at the end of September that he has no immediate plans to write a second season, nor does he have any ideas developed better for the series to come.

There are still few confirmed details, but the earlier speculation from Hwang Dong-hyuk -- combined with our thoughts on how the first Squid Game season ended -- means that we can imagine a couple of possible storytelling scenarios for when the series comes out. More importantly, given Netflix chief Ted Sarandos talked about the Squid Game universe in his Squid Game renewal announcement, we feel Hwang Dong-hyuk's endgame is not likely to stop with only two seasons.
Table of Content:
Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk was hesitant to speak about whether a second season would occur for the series (he originally told The Sunday Times (open in new tab) it would not), citing his wish to focus on other projects, including a forthcoming feature. Hwang Dong-hyuk's revelation, during an interview in May with Vanity Fair (opens in new tab) Vanity Fair, also suggested that the second season of Squid Game will certainly involve more of the show's notoriously treacherous mysteries -- implying, once again, that Ji-hun would be staging a dramatic return to the remote facility at the center of Squid Game Season 1, which is set at a distant facility that is central to Squid Games story.

There is a strong possibility that we will see the main characters of the show confront and investigate the cult-like organization behind the show itself, including the nefarious masked Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) who shot and killed his brother, Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-Joon). It is a strong possibility that we will see the show is the main character confront and investigate the cult-like organization behind the show is itself, including the nefarious masked Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) who shot his brother Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-Joon) his brother Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-Joon ). It seems that after becoming a Netflix property, creators began thinking a bit more twice about potentially re-visiting the potential for the show's expanded universe, considering many of the characters who were loved during the first season were killed off. Fans were left with a significant cliffhanger in the season 1s finale, as the main character in the show, Seong-hun (played by breakout star Lee Jeong-Jae), seemed to be challenging the shadowy organization behind the show's titular kids' game. The show, which was officially greenlit for season 2 in January, follows Seong Gi-hun and hundreds of other competitors saddled with massive debts while competing to play perverse, cruel children's games in a contest to win millions of dollars. In Season 1, 456 cash-strapped contestants were invited by a mysterious organization to compete in a series of child's games - with fatal consequences - to win a share of the 45.6bn won prize pot (about $38.5m).
The nature of The Squid Game means contestants are killed off as they are eliminated from the game, so unless The Squid Game Season 2 takes the form of a prequel or has flashback sequences, we are not going to see a lot of returning cast members or characters. If Seong Gi-hun does go back to play as suggested by season 1s ending, then there is a good chance that we will be seeing many new faces in season 2, since new players are going to have been recruited to play. As we will detail further down, it is possible we could see one if not all of Lee Jeong-Jae, Wi Ha-Joon, Hwang Joon-ho, and Gong Yoo returning as Gi-hun, Joon-ho, In-ho, and recruiter, respectively, but the jury is still out on the rest of the show is cast for a second go-round. We also met the games recruiter in the hit series, so there is a good chance that esteemed actor Gong Yoo will be making a reappearance in The Squids Game Season 2, possibly allowing for a deeper look at the backstage side of the deadly task.

That said, we would be surprised if Squid Game did not come back at some point, given how much global success Squid Game has been -- (it is on pace to become Netflix's most successful original series to date) -- and Hwang has spoken about what he will be doing for the second season, telling The Times the new series will be looking at The Frontman's tale. That being said, we would be really surprised if Squid Game did not return at some point after the huge global success Squid Game has become - (it is on track to be Netflix's most successful original show yet) - and Hwang has since spoken about what he would do for season two, telling The Times that a new series would look at the story of the Frontman. Hwang is revealed as a frontman - played by Hwang Jang-ho (Lee Byung-hun) who killed Jang-ho, and that it ended up being able to get back to somewhere that has cellphone access, so that the clues that it has collected on the nature of the games, as well as ) who killed Jang-ho, and his missing brother. Squidgame will likely be returning sometime in 2023, and, if a Season 3 is coming, Netflix may double-down on production and film both Seasons 2 and Season 3 simultaneously, making for a shorter release window.
