There are still a few months left for the official return of Squid Game, but Netflix has already presented the new contestants who will participate in the second season of what was its great and historic phenomenon.
"Players: it's almost time. The second season of Squid Game arrives on December 26", read the tweet with which the platform has shown a first preview of what the following episodes will be, which will be available to watch before the end of the year.
Gi-hun appears in this first clip of the second installment, played by Lee Jung-jae, who reprises his role as the champion and only survivor of this twisted game. It's a preview of just thirty seconds in which we see a group of faceless players with their characteristic green tracksuits.
The teaser shows the number of each player on the back of their jackets, emphasizing the number 456 patch, which Gi-hun wears.
This is how the return will be
The second season takes place three years after Gi-hun won Squid Game, and after he decided not to go to the United States. The protagonist returns with a goal in mind and participates again in this survival game, starting another round with new participants and the same prize of 45.6 billion won.
With the first season of the series, its creator Hwang Dong-hyuk made history as the first Asian person to win an Emmy award for directing a dramatic series. Jung-jae also achieved something similar, becoming the first Asian man to win the award for best lead actor in a dramatic series, and the first to win the award for a non-English language fiction.
Premiering in September 2021, Squid Game achieved the unthinkable, becoming Netflix's most popular series of all time with a record of 1.65 billion views in its first 28 days on the platform.
This phenomenon led to the return of the series to the platform, which will have a total of only three seasons. The second one premieres on December 26 and the third and final will arrive on Netflix in 2025.
