‘Squid Game Season 2’ Teaser
The newly released teaser depicts the distinctive red-and-black staff supervising another lethal game as a new group of participants take part. In the teaser, the commander of the group asks a terrifying question: "It's been three years. Do you want to play again?”
‘Squid Game season 2’ takes place three years after the events of season one and features Lee Jung-jae returning as Player 456, among other cast members. The official synopsis of the series read: “Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
‘Squid Game’ creator, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk reflected on returning to the world of Squid Game and said, “On the first day we began shooting Season 2, I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I’m back in the world of Squid Game.’ It almost felt surreal. I wonder how it will feel for you to be back in Squid Game after three years, as well. Seong Gi-hun who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1 returns and joins the game again. Will he succeed in getting his revenge? Front Man doesn’t seem to be an easy opponent this time either. The fierce clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.”
