Seoul: Netflix has just announced that Season 2 of Squid Game will premiere on December 26, 2024 followed by a final season coming up in 2025. The thriller-drama that became the biggest viral sensation of 2020 is back.
This news was conveyed to fans all over the globe, through a heartfelt letter written by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the executive producer, writer and director of the series. The announcement came with a teaser of a track race, not for a medal, but for survival. As bodies fall, the Frontman prepares the audience for the real game about to begin.
On Wednesday, July 31, the streaming company announced the release date for the highly anticipated new season of the South Korean drama with a track-and-field-themed teaser.
“The real game begins. Squid Game Season 2 is coming December 26. The Final Season coming 2025,” read posts shared by Netflix on its official X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram accounts
The posts featured a nearly minute-long video starting with a close-up of men and women sprinting on a crowded track.
Amid the sounds of people screaming and falling, the camera shifts to reveal the Front Man, who says, “It’s been three years. Do you want to play a game?”
“Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) 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,” the official synopsis states.
