After the huge success achieved by Squid Game in its first season, fans around the world are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the second season of this South Korean thriller series. Squid Game, which tells the story of participants battling in a survival game with their lives on the line for a huge cash prize, has become a global phenomenon that captivated millions of viewers thanks to its intense storyline and deep characters. With the end of the first season leaving many questions, speculations about what will happen in Squid Game Season 2 are mounting.

The Dunia Games team will discuss everything you must know about Squid Game Season 2 which has certainly been awaited by Squid Game fans. Let's take a look at the article below.

Squid Game Season 2 Will Continue the End of the First Season

If games are basically interesting and entertaining for the players, then it's different from Squid Game from Korea. Squid Game created by Hwang Dong-hyuk itself tells the story of a game of life and death. Obviously it is a movie that tells the story of several people who really need money, so they have to join the game until they become the last man standing.

At the end of season 1 of the Squid Game series, the main character Seong Gi-hun was the winner of the Squid Game, which apparently will continue in season 2. As for the possibility that happens in Squid Game season 2, Seong Gi-hun may play again as a player but he also reveals the evil organization behind it all.

Squid Game Season 2 Release Date

Squid Game has become a movie sensation that is so favored not only for South Korea, but also for many people, including from Indonesia. The serialized series with the survival genre from South Korea is apparently listed as the most popular on Netflix.

From its popularity, Jung Ho-yeon can even have Instagram followers that shot to 20 million after Squid Game season 1 premiered globally on September 17th 2021. It also even made South Korean internet provider SK Broadband sue Netflix to cover the cost of increased network usage that rose by 24 times.

The success of Squid Game season 1 will certainly make developers or filmmakers look at making a second season. This is especially from the storyline which seems like there will indeed be a continuation, because if not then the story seems like it could just hang like that. In January 2021, Netflix CEO & Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos, alluded to their plans to create the Squid Game Universe.

This will not only provide a second and third season, but also potentially involve events, merchandise, and mobile games. Squid Game Universe is just getting started, Sarandos told Marca at the time. But so far, the development has only been felt through games. Now as for the release date of Squid Game season 2, it has been announced by Netflix along with 3 announced titles, one of which Squid Game season 2 will air in 2024.

Squid Game Season 2 Casts

Director Hwang Dong Hyuk, who made history at the 74th Primetime Emmys by becoming the first Asian to win Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series is once again leading the series as director, writer, and producer. But then what about the cast, has anyone been replaced or is it still the same old cast?

For the Squid Game season 2 cast so far, Lee Jung Jae, Lee Byung Hun, Wi Ha Joon, and Gong Yoo are known to reprise their roles from the first season with a new cast list including Im Siwan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Young, Lee Jin Uk, Park Sung Hoon, Yang Dong Geun, Kang Ae Sim, Lee David, Choi Seung Hyun, Roh Jae Won, Jo Yuri, and Won Ji An completing the colorful ensemble of characters in the upcoming season.

Synopsis of the Story in Squid Game Season 2

At the end of the first season of Squid Game, there were certainly many scenes that did support the questions raised in the series. Like the mysterious contestant, who is actually the leader of the game. He was an old man who at the end of the story died of a brain tumor, which left Seong Gi-hun, the main character played by Lee Jung-jae, with no meaningful answers.

Seong Gi-hun then called the number on the back of the Squid Game invitation card. He vowed to reveal the evil organization behind everything that happened. With the end of the first season story, it does seem like the second season will continue the story of Seong Gi-hun. However, it could not be that, as during an interview with The Times, the director and writer of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, instead made a puzzle according to which, what if Squid Game 2 focuses on Front Man?

There is also another plot that could follow a detective, Hwang Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-joon), who goes undercover in the game. He will likely have a mission to find his brother who went missing after joining the game. But, in episode eight, Jun-Ho discovers that his brother is now the Front Man leading the game. Worse still, the Front Man shot Jun-Ho, before the detective uncovered the group's operations.

However, it is likely that from Squid Game season 2, the most linear story will be the continuation of Gi-hun's story. This is because Gi-hun at that time canceled his plan to go to the US and started the chase with a motive. It is possible that in season 2, Gi-hun will become a player again because he intends to reveal the operation that has made him have to face unwanted things. This is of course with new players and of course with new games that are also accompanied by unexpected plots.

Conclusion

Most of the story synopsis for Squid Game 2 is still minimal in explanation. But most likely this will make the main character, Gi-hun, return and play as a player with his own motives. Although the exact date is unknown, Squid Game season 2 will definitely be present in 2024 on the Netflix service, it could be in the middle of the year or maybe at the end of 2024.

Of course Squid Game 2 is a spectacle that should be watched by Squid Game season 1 viewers, this is because at the end of the first season it still hangs just like that, aka it really hasn't ended properly. Apart from the story, another reason why Squid Game 2 is worth watching, is because of course season 2 will present a story that is no less thrilling than the first season. Moreover, it is likely that Squid Game 2 will become a trending movie that can make many people curious.
