Squid Game Season 2: Where to Watch Squid Game?

By Jivika Last updated Nov 14, 2022

Squid Game, a Netflix original series that debuted in September 2021 and immediately became a huge hit with viewers around, has been on our screens for more than a year. It proved a huge hit with award voters as well in September 2022. When the Korean series won six Emmy Awards—the first non-English show to do so—including Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Lee Jung-jae and Directing for a Drama Series for Hwang Dong-hyuk, it cemented its place in television history.

We can’t help but be curious about the release date of Season 2 of Squid Game because we’re antsy for more of it like we’ve only had a hard-boiled egg and a bottle of Pepsi to eat. Below, we’ll attempt to provide answers to that and other queries.

Squid Game Latest News

Okay, so it might not be Season 2 news, but at this point we’ll take any Squid Game news. A previously unreleased clip from Season 1 was shared as a special treat for fans in September 2022 by director Hwang Dong-hyuk.

A man carries a bag of goldfish in the video, which Netflix touts as “the dramatic unveiling of Front Man,” before showing his face. Why are there goldfish? I’m not sure. Maybe Season 2 will provide an answer. Have you ever participated in the carnival game where you have to throw ping pong balls at goldfish in bowls? Perhaps it will be one of the games in Season 2, only this time the ping pong balls are people and the sharks are goldfish.

When is the Squid Game Season 2 Release Date?

The AP was cautioned not to anticipate Season 2 any time soon by Dong-hyuk. In November 2021, he told the newspaper, “I do think it’s too early to determine when and how that’s going to happen.”

If it does, it’s probably reasonable to say that the earliest we’d see it is 2023: Squid Game took two years to develop and began in 2019, so even if work on Season 2 began right away, we’d be looking at a late 2023 release

Squid Game season 2 Renewal News and Plot

Squid Game was finally picked up for Season 2 in June 2022, nine months after the show’s debut. This process took a very long time. Netflix posted a letter from the show’s creator Dong-hyuk along with the news of the show’s renewal for a second season, in which he promises “a whole new round” of games would be played as well as some information about Season 2, including who we can expect to see return. It seems that Cheol-su is the “lover” of that horrifying huge doll.

You can bet that Dong-hyuk already has a brand-new plot written in his mind. He admitted to E! News, “I have a predetermined outline. “I’ve written the script for an entire Season 2 episode featuring fresh gameplay and new characters. I enjoy it. It appears to be good. It surpasses my expectations in quality.”

Squid Game Season 2 Cast

The cast is drastically reduced heading into Season 2 because there was a lot (and we do mean A LOT) of dead in Season 1. That implies that numerous new characters will need to be introduced moving forward. Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), aka Player 456 will return, along with game director “The Front Man,” according to the tweet above from Dong-hyuk (Lee Byung-hun). The “guy in the suit with the ddakji” might also return, too. Don’t ever agree to play with him, whatever you do!

Even though they were essential cast members in Season 1, characters like Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo), Oh Il-nam (Oh Young-soo), and fan favourite Kang Sae-byeok (Jung Ho-yeon) seem highly unlikely to appear in Season 2 given how Season 1 ended for them.
