Squid Game Season 2: The Teaser With The Killer Doll Here What We Know About Release Date

Squid Game will return with a second season… killer doll word. It could only be Young-hee, the giant animatronic doll from the first game, to announce the return of the Korean series of Netflix records. In a very short teaser that you can see here, a very close-up of it appears an eye with a built-in camera. You hear the song that was the protagonist of the first, bloody Squid Game in the background. Red neon light in the shape of a two appears in the doll’s eye.

Predictably, therefore, Netflix is ​​ready to produce the second season of its Asian Hunger Games. Also, Squid Game in addition to holding unbeaten viewing records is the ideal product of the new course of the streaming giant: it is a low-budget show by Netflix standards. Minimum investment, maximum result. Will it be the same for the second season? We’ll see.

Squid Games Season 2 Creator Teases Details

Meanwhile, we can have some more information from the more articulated message that the creator of the show Hwang Dong-Hyuk has published. The story is well known: the writer, director, and producer of the Korean hit went through difficult moments before achieving success. Moments he remembers in this short release:

It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game out last year into view. But it took 12 days to make it the most popular series Netflix has ever made. As the writer, director and producer of Squid Game, I want to cast a big thank you to fans around the world. Thanks for watching and loving our show. 

The creator then anticipates something concrete about the plot of the second season confirming that the protagonist of the series Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and his masked antagonist and “director” of the show Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) will return in the new episodes.

Will Gi-hun Go To The Dark Side

The worldwide success achieved by Squid Game meant that the Korean series was renewed almost immediately for a second season by Netflix, but while we are excited at the thought of returning to the world created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, we are certainly still in the dark about. regarding the plot that will unfold throughout the new episodes.

Although it is still too early to talk about real anticipations, the director and screenwriter of the k-drama have discussed the turn that will take the character of Gi-hun, the protagonist and winner of the games in the first season. The last time we saw him, Gi-hun sported a fiery red hair as he prepared to visit his daughter in America, but the horrors and traumas of the games still had not abandoned him, so much so that, after crossing a recruiter at the airport, had chosen not to get on the plane and to call the number that would put him in contact with the organizers.

Gi-hun, Hero or Villain in Squid Game Season 2?

The ending let it be understood that Gi-hun, full of anger, would have sought revenge against Front Man and all those who for years collaborated in those massacre games from which he had emerged victorious. At that moment, we all assumed that, in a hypothetical Season 2 scenario, Gi-hun would be the hero who would attempt to end the brutality of Front Man and Co.

After all, this is a possibility well in line with the characterization that has been given to the character: despite being full of vices and penniless, the protagonist of the series has often shown that he has a good heart in the most dramatic and dangerous situations: he is the first to be approached Ali and Elder Oh Il-nam (before knowing that the latter was one of the organizers of the games) when no one was willing to have them as allies; he asked to stop the squid game so that both he and his friend Sang-woo could escape unscathed; he finally helped Sae-byeok’s little brother financially once he got home.

But this does not mean that Gi-hun did not have a gray morality, that he did not know how to be selfish and that he did not make mistakes over time: from the first episode he is presented to us as an absent father and as someone capable of deceiving friends and family members to get their advantage: how can we forget the game of marbles, in which he tried to trick the victory from player 001? And precisely because hun can be classified as an ambiguous, opportunistic character, halfway between good and evil, it is logical to ask a few questions about how we will find him in the second season.

Fortunately, the creator and director of Squid Game come to our aid, who, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly, anticipated that in the second season the protagonist could follow the same path as Front Man who, after winning the games, moved on to the dark side by becoming part of the organization himself. It is no coincidence, from this point of view, that his costume is incredibly reminiscent of that of the antagonist of Star Wars: ” some become Jedi, others become Dart Vader” commented Hwang Dong-hyuk. In Squid Game 2 Gi-hun will go through a moral crisis that will put him at a crossroads: he will be tested and will finally have to decide whether to follow in the footsteps of Front Man or a diametrically opposite path.
