Fans of the global phenomenon are eager to see what new horrors await in the upcoming season, especially with Gi-hun’s renewed sense of purpose.
Gi-hun’s Triumphant Return
The 30-second Squid Game Season 2 teaser brings back the chilling atmosphere that captivated millions.

A New Chapter in the Deadly Game
Season 2 picks up three years after Gi-hun’s harrowing victory in the first season. Having given up his plans to leave for the United States, he returns with a burning resolve. “Gi-hun will be entering the game as a different, more serious character,” said creator Hwang Dong-hyuk in an interview with Deadline. The stakes are higher, and the game deadlier, as a new batch of participants vies for the life-changing prize of 45.6 billion won.
Record-breaking success and Global Acclaim
