The new season will drop later this year Fans have shared their reactions to the new teaser for Squid Game season two. The hit Netflix K-drama is due to premiere later this year, and ahead of its release the streamer has teased fans with a brief clip. In it, we see a number of players’ numbers flash across the screen, before focusing on 456 – aka Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) – who turns to look at the camera.
The text then reads: “The real game begins.” Fans on social media have shared their excitement following the teaser, one writing: “Ooohhhhh, we are so back!!!” “Yesss, season one was amazing,” another wrote, while a third asked of Gi-hun’s return to his dark hair look: “What happened to the red hair?” Writing on YouTube, one user said: “I miss the old cast. At least Gi-Hun is still with us,” while another added: “‘The REAL game begins’.

The new episodes will continue the story of Gi-hun, the winner at the end of season one, as the character becomes “determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport”. Gi-hun uses his winnings to “fund his search” as he realises “the path toward taking down the organisation proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it”.
Show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has also released a letter to fans, in which he addressed the show’s final two seasons. “I am thrilled to see the seed that was plated in created a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story,” he wrote. Meanwhile, show star Wi Ha-joon recently teased his character Hwang Jun-ho’s role in the second season, revealing that the police officer will have “his own story in here”.
