Squid Game is finally returning to screens more than three years after it became a global hit. Streaming later this month, the Korean thriller centres around a deadly survival game in which hundreds of players compete for the chance to win a monumental cash prize.
According to the official synopsis, season two picks up three years after Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) won Squid Game and gave up going to the US. He returns with a new resolution in his mind and once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 456 billion won.
Squid Game became a worldwide phenomenon when it premiered in 2021 and went on to become Netflix’s most-watched series of all time. It has since racked up more than 2.2 billion hours viewed around the world, ahead of rivals including Stranger Things and Bridgerton.
The new season sees several cast members reprising their roles, including Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun, Player 456. He returns alongside Lee Byung-hun as the masked game leader Front Man, Wi Ha-joon as undercover detective Hwang Jun-ho, and Gong Yoo as the mysterious Recruiter.
Squid Game has already been renewed for a third and final season, which is slated to premiere in 2025. But until then, here’s when Squid Game season two is released and how to watch it in the UK this Christmas.
