As we gear up for Season 2 of Squid Game, the highly anticipated follow-up to Netflix's 2021 breakout smash, we've just gotten our latest trailer — and it looks like there's a couple twists to the games in store. There’s no stopping the game ?? Squid Game Season 2 arrives December 26. pic.
twitter.com/z1yDgowXxs — Netflix (@netflix) October 31, 2024 The trailer shows Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, as we find him in the deadly Squid Game once again after winning Season 1's competition. There's a look at the familiar — namely, the iconic Red Light Green Light game from Season 1 — but this latest trailer also presents an interestingly new rule: after each game, the contestants will place a vote.
If the majority agrees, the games will end and the surviving contestants can take the money they've accumulated and leave. Barring that, however, the games will continue. Unsurprisingly, that voting mechanic sets up some new drama, with Gi-hun urging the other contestants to do whatever they can to get out of there.
It doesn't seem like that's going well, though, as the others ignore his pleas and push to continue. In addition to Gi-hun, we get a look at another familiar face as well: there's a brief glimpse of Lee Byung-hun, who's returning as the mysterious Front Man. Wi Ha-jun is returning too as Hwang Jun-ho, a detective on his own relentless mission.
Netflix also unveiled some new key art and images, which you can see below. South Korean thriller Squid Gam.
