Squid Game - Season 2 is Coming!

Hundreds of cash-strapped contestants accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly. Squid game is a show similar to a modern day rendition of hunger games, coming out of South Korea that is incredibly thrilling to watch and will keep you at the edge of your seat.

The show was already in talks of producing a second season in November of 2021. “There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice!,” Hwang told the Associated Press. “But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently. But I do think it’s too early to say when and how that’s going to happen.”

The Korean survival drama Squid Game premiered on Netflix back in September 2021 and quickly became the service’s most popular original series, holding the number one spot on Netflix’s top 10 most popular shows and movies for four consecutive weeks.

The most recent update from Reuters reports season 2 will begin filming in 2023, and we can expect a release sometime in 2024. Director-writer Hwang Dong-hyuk won an Emmy for outstanding directing for a drama series, while lead actor Lee Jung-jae clinched the honour for best actor in drama. Both were the first Asians to garner those titles, and the first from a non-English series.
