“Squid Game” Season 2 trailer drops: Gi-hun returns to end the deadly competition

Fans of the global phenomenon Squid Game can finally rejoice as the official trailer for Season 2 was unveiled on Wednesday. The new season, set to premiere on December 26, promises even higher stakes, intense drama, and heart-pounding survival challenges.  

The trailer reveals the return of Seong Gi-hun, famously known as Player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae. When asked why he is stepping back into the life-or-death arena, Gi-hun responds with resolve: "I'm trying to put an end to this game."  

Season 2 picks up three years after Gi-hun’s harrowing victory in the first season. According to the official synopsis shared by Netflix, Gi-hun has abandoned plans to leave for the United States and instead returns with a mission: to dismantle the deadly survival game from within.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the upcoming season introduces new participants, all vying for the coveted prize of 45.6 billion won. With fresh faces and sinister twists, the story promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats.  

Mark your calendars for December 26 to witness the next chapter in Gi-hun’s journey to take down the sinister game.
