As a movie enthusiast who’s seen more than a few Korean dramas and blockbusters over the years, I must say that the teaser for “Squid Game” Season 2 has me absolutely thrilled! The first season was a rollercoaster ride of emotions, suspense, and unexpected twists. I can’t wait to see how the story unfolds further, especially with our favorite survivors back in action.


The popular series ‘Squid Game’ is making a comeback, and Netflix has unveiled the initial trailer for its eagerly awaited second installment. This sneak peek was shown during their annual Geeked Week gathering for fans.

The trailer resumes immediately following Season 1’s finale, where Seong Gi-hun chose to forgo his U.S. journey and embarked on an exhilarating pursuit with renewed purpose instead. In this brief sneak peek, he reappears in his 456 uniform amidst a fresh group of competitors. A substantial cash reward lies ahead for them, offering a glimpse into the upcoming games.

In the second series, Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo return to play characters who have survived the brutal survival competition.
