Netflix has given fans a sneak peek into the highly anticipated second season of the record-breaking Korean thriller ‘Squid Game.’
The streaming giant dropped a clip from Season 2 as part of a preview reel showcasing upcoming TV shows and movies in 2024.
Seong Gi-hun’s Journey Continues
The teaser suggests that Season 2 will seamlessly pick up where the first season left off, featuring the now-red-haired main character, Seong Gi-hun, portrayed by Lee Jung-jae, walking out of an airport.
The first season followed Gi-hun, grappling with poverty, a sick mother, and an estranged daughter, as he entered a high-stakes contest with the chance to win millions of dollars.
The games involved life-or-death challenges, with losers paying the ultimate price. The season concluded with Gi-hun winning but left him traumatized, prompting him to turn back and confront those orchestrating the deadly games.
In the one-minute teaser, Gi-hun receives a call from the mysterious front man of the games, warning him of regret for his choices. Determined, Gi-hun declares, “I will find you, no matter what it takes.”
