Actor Lee Jung-Jae, who plays the main character Seong Gi-hun, gives Squid Game Season 2 release news and it's great! It's finally coming to Netflix.
Netflix communicates sparingly about Squid Game Season 2. Until now, the firm with the red N has only released a teaser in which we see the protagonist Seong Gi-Hun at the airport. The latter also has a telephone conversation with an unidentified character, who is said to be the creator of the deadly games in which 456 men and women participate in season 1. “You’re going to regret your decision.” I will find you, whatever it takes” Seong Gi-Hun says before the video abruptly cuts off. But the suspense linked to this first trailer will end this year as planned.

A real release window for Squid Game Season 2
According to the first images, season 2 of Squid Game should have revenge as the main theme. Information also confirmed by Seong Gi-Hun's actor, Lee Jung-Jae, who indicated that his character was going to hunt the creator of the macabre games. Netflix had announced a broadcast of these new episodes for the second half of 2024 and we now have a month. “It will be available in December” Lee Jung-Jae told Business Insider. We will still have to wait for the final date, which will surely be shared through a trailer, but we are moving forward and we have never been so close to the release.
Squid Game Season 2 will be one of Netflix's flagship releases for 2024. To date, it is still one of the biggest hits for a non-English-language series. The Hwang Dong-hyeok television show has accumulated millions of hours of viewing and even won awards such as best director at the 2022 Emmy Awards. Following this huge success, the video streaming platform has developed a reality TV , Squid Game: The Challenge, which uses the principle of the series, but without the deaths. A bag of black liquid, to distance itself from the true color of the blood, was used to reproduce the elimination of real candidates.
A remake by David Fincher and a “clone” with The 8 Show
After this reality TV and season 2, Netflix would have validated an American remake of Squid Game according to the sources of journalist Jeff Sneider. “ David Fincher is quietly working on Squid Game » he said a few months ago. A project that will undoubtedly divide, but the good news is that it has been given to an excellent director. This rumor is all the more credible as David Fincher still has to collaborate with Netflix on various unannounced things. In a few hours, subscribers will also be able to discover The 8 Show. A Korean series which is visibly close to Squid Game due to its themes such as gaming or social drama. A psychological thriller where 8 players will compete on 8 floors and where the ultimate goal is to systematically collect as much money as possible. It will be available on May 17.
