Teaser for the second season of “Squid Game” reveals Gi-hun’s return


Teaser for the second season of “Squid Game” reveals Gi-hun’s return

Gi-hun is back in the game as Netflix unveils the first teaser for the long-awaited second season of Squid Game.

In the new 30-second clip, Lee Jung-jae reprises his role as champion and sole survivor from Season 1. It features a series of faceless players in green tracksuits, the last of which turns out to be his character Seong Gi-hun.

The dramatically lit teaser shows each player’s number on the back of their jacket, increasing until it reaches Gi-hun’s No. 456 patch.

Season 2 takes place three years after Gi-hun won Squid Game, gave up on the trip to the States and returned with a new resolution in mind. He delves into the mysterious survival game again and begins another game of life and death with new participants to win the 45.6 billion won prize.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk previously told Deadline that Gi-hun will be out for revenge in the new season and will come into play as a different, more serious character.

In the first season, Dong-hyuk made history as he became the first Asian to win an Emmy for Outstanding Directing in a Drama Series. Jung-jae was also the first Asian to win Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and the first to win the award for a non-English language series.

Squid Game also became the most popular Netflix series of all time with a record 1.65 billion views in the first 28 days after its premiere in 2021.

After the revelation that season 2 of Squid Game premieres on December 26, Netflix announced last month that the third and final season will follow in 2025.
