Netflix Confirms Squid Game Is Coming Back for Season 2

“Squid Game” is officially coming back for a second season.

Netflix announced on Sunday that the wildly popular South Korean show is green lit for a second season.

“And now, Gi-hun returns,” director, writer and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a letter to fans. “The Front Man returns. Season 2 is coming.”

The movie, “Squid Game” is a fictional drama from South Korea in which contestants who are desperately in need of money play deadly children’s games to win cash prizes.

Seong Gi-hun, the main protagonist of “Squid Game,” is a divorced gambler who entered the contest for the big money.

Hwang also teased new characters and developments in the second season.

“The man in the suit with ddakji might be back,” he wrote, referring to the mysterious salesman who recruits desperate players to the game show.

The letter also said viewers will be introduced to Cheol-su, the “boyfriend” of the show’s infamous animatronic doll, Young-hee.
