After a three-year wait, Squid Game is finally back. Netflix’s most popular series ever finds Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) returning to the gauntlet of games that nearly killed him in 2021. The question is, Why? It looks like we’ll get the complete answer once the new episodes arrive.
In the first season, Gi-hun emerged the victor of the deadly games and brought home unspeakable riches. However, something tells me things won’t be the same for him in this second season.
Joining Jung-jae in the season are returning cast members Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo. Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri and Won Ji-an make up the ensemble of new competitors.
The anticipation for the return of Squid Game is huge. The first season won six Emmy awards, including outstanding lead actor for Lee Jung-jae and outstanding directing for a drama series for Hwang Dong-hyuk. Season 2 has already garnered a best television series Golden Globe nomination, so we’re probably in for a good time.
Anyway, enough small talk. Read on to find out when to watch Squid Game season 2 on Netflix.
