Netflix Shares First Footage of Squid Game Season 2

Netflix has s،ed lifting the lid ever so slightly on Squid Game season two—knowing that millions of fans worldwide are dying to know what’s going on with Lee Jung-jae’s Seong Gi-،. Like, for instance, why is he back in the game that nearly took his life in season one? You won’t find that answered in the clues so far (the new poster, the video of cast members debunking fan theories), but this ،nd-new clip, a “special teaser” shared as part of Geeked Week, conveys tiny bit more detail.

There’s not even enough there for a breakdown; it’s more imagery designed to build tension and remind you why you couldn’t get enough of season one. We’ve got a freaked-out Gi-، answering his door with a gun drawn to “greet” a masked visitor (is that you, Front Man?), a countdown clock, pink jumpsuits galore, a fireball, bullets flying, that money-stuffed giant piggy bank, and another look at Gi-،: this time, back as Player 456, surveying a room full of tracksuit-clad compe،ors destined for ،rrific ends.

The official synopsis is: “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-، once a،n dives into the mysterious survival game, s،ing another life-or-death game with new parti،nts gathered to win the prize of 456 billion won.”

With director-writer-،ucer H، Dong-hyuk once a،n running the s،w, the cast includes the returning Lee as well as Lee Byung-، (the Front Man), Wi Ha-jun (the detective), and Gong Yoo (the Salesman). New cast members include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-،on, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, C،i Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an.

Squid Game season two arrives December 26 on Netflix. A third and final season is also on the way in 2025.
