Three years may seem like an eternity, but knowing that season 2 is finally on its way, premiering exclusively on Netflix on December 26, 2024, feels like a dream come true. And to top it off, we’ll get not one, but two more seasons!


As a diehard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement! The rumors are true – Squid Game is making a comeback in 2024! That’s right, you heard it here first. This much-anticipated season 2 will be dropping its first episode on Netflix, December 26, 2024. The news was officially confirmed by the showrunner Hwang Dong-hyuk, who also dropped a bomb – not one but two more seasons are in the works! Season 3 is set to air in 2025. Ever since its debut in 2021, Squid Game has been breaking records on Netflix, quickly becoming their most-watched series ever. So, buckle up folks, it’s going to be one heck of a ride!

You can watch the official announcement video, which focuses on the current Olympic Games.

According to Deadline, the upcoming season 2 of Squid Game will see Lee Jung-jae, fresh from his role as Sol in The Acolyte’s Star Wars series, return as Seong Gi-hun. In the first season, characters were mysteriously invited to participate in a game offering a life-changing prize of ₩45.6 billion. However, the catch was that only one winner could emerge, with the remaining 455 players meeting a brutal and grim end. The games, reminiscent of children’s pastimes but lethal in their consequences, posed a deadly challenge: lose and die.

As a longtime fan of Korean cinema, I am beyond excited to share my thoughts on the upcoming film “Squid Game.” With a background in both Korean and American films, I can confidently say that this movie promises to be a unique and captivating experience.

What is Squid Game Season 2 About?

The particulars of season 2’s narrative are still kept secret, but the mastermind behind Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, is eager to invite viewers once again into the “strange” realm of the show. Here’s what he had to say:

“It’s been nearly three years since Season 1 received an overwhelming global response, and a lot of unexpected events transpired. On the first day we started filming Season 2, I found myself thinking, ‘I can hardly believe I’m returning to the universe of Squid Game.’ It seemed almost unreal. I’m curious to know how you’ll feel about coming back to Squid Game after three years as well.”

Hwang shared some insights into the storyline for season 2 and hinted at the upcoming third and concluding season.

“In Season 3, Seong Gi-hun, driven by his thirst for vengeance following the events of last season, reenters the game. However, it appears that Front Man won’t make this round any easier. The intense confrontation between their realms will carry on until the final episode of Season 3, set to arrive next year. I can hardly wait to witness how the initial idea of a new Squid Game has blossomed and culminated in this captivating narrative conclusion. Rest assured, we’ll strive to provide you with another exhilarating journey.”

In 2024, it’s been announced that Squid Game will be back for its second season on the streaming platform, similar to Cobra Kai which returned in July and hinted at its series finale by the end of this year. Other shows set to return later in 2021 include Emily in Paris, Monster, The Night Agent, and Outer Banks.

As a huge fan of Korean dramas and thrillers, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming season 2 of Squid Game! I remember binge-watching season 1 last year and being completely hooked from the first episode. The suspenseful storyline, captivating characters, and thought-provoking themes resonated with me deeply, making it one of my favorite shows in recent memory. So, when I heard that Squid Game will be back on Netflix on December 26, 2024, I marked my calendar and started counting down the days. If you haven’t watched season 1 yet, I highly recommend giving it a try – it’s a must-see for any fan of gripping storytelling!
