When is Squid Game Season 2 Coming out on Netflix?

The release of the second season of Squid Game was officially announced by Netflix by the end of 2024 and now Netflix has formalized the absolute preview presentation of the new episodes on October 31, 2024, during Lucca Comics in the presence of the creator, writer and director himself of the series Hwang Dong-hyuk and the lead actors Lee Jung-Jae and Wi Ha-jun who will meet the fans and reveal to the whole world some news of the highly anticipated second season. As for the exact release date of the new episodes, it should be December 2024, according to what the protagonist recently leaked. But we’ll see.

What to Expect From Squid Game Season 2‘s Storyline?

The second season of Squid Game will see the protagonist Seong Gi-hun intent on trying to destroy the Squid Game system after discovering that the deadly game is ready to continue with new competitors. (Spoiler!) The first season of Squid Game ended with the death of the creator of the infernal Squid Game and the discovery by Gi-hun, the protagonist of the series, that his adventure companion, the player 001, was the mastermind behind that monstrous stain of death.

Furthermore, the final scene of the survival game saw Gi-hun living in complete poverty despite having won a nice sum of money playing the Squid Game (but money doesn’t make you happy) and, after discovering that the game continued to “enroll” people, the man decides to call the Squid Game‘s business card number and threaten the organization with putting an end to the game, once and for all. We can deduce that the protagonist of the series, in the second season, will develop a plan to destroy the game forever using his experience as a player and winner of the Squid Game and will most likely try to re-enter the game to destroy it from within. The creator of the K-Drama, Hwang Dong-hyuk, recently revealed that he has a basic plot in mind for the second season of Squid Game, will he be able to surprise us?
