Netflix has released a teaser for Squid Game Season 2, with the return of Seong Gi-hun.
The streaming service giant shared a video that begins with upbeat classical music before quickly switching to a more ominous soundtrack.
We also see a lot of players in the trailer – but apart from our protagonist, played by Lee Jung-jae, we don’t see any of their faces, just their numbers.
“The real game begins,” a title card reads, before reminding us that the season starts on December 26. If all the bright lights and festive cheer of Christmas are a bit much for you, this is for you.
