In December, the long-awaited second season of the series «Squid Game» will premiere on Netflix.
The streaming company announced the release date of the upcoming season of the Korean drama with a trailer inspired by athletic competitions on Wednesday, July 31. The series will also return for a third and final season in 2025.
It has been almost three years since the first season launched on Netflix, which became a global success with 111 million viewers in the first 17 days on the platform. «It took 12 years to create the first season of 'Squid Game'», - said the show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk about the worldwide popularity of the show. «But 'Squid Game' took 12 days to become the most popular Netflix series».
The nearly one-minute trailer showed men and women in iconic green workout suits, shouting and falling during a race against each other. The camera then switches to the Frontman, who says, «It's been three years. Do you want to play a game?»
Hwang Dong-hyuk also provided his own trailer in an open letter to fans.
«Seong Gi-hun, who vowed revenge at the end of the first season, returns and joins the game again. Can he achieve revenge? The Frontman this time also does not seem like an easy opponent», - he wrote. «The ruthless collision between their two worlds will continue in the series finale with the third season, which you will see next year».
Hwang ended his letter, promising fans that «we will do everything possible to bring you another exciting journey».
The first season of «Squid Game» ranks first among the most viewed seasons of television in Netflix history. The series received 14 Emmy nominations, winning six. Among them, Hwang won for best director of a drama series, Lee Jung-jae for best actor in a drama series, and Lee Yoo-mi for best guest actress in a drama series.
In addition to Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun (Frontman), Wi Ha-joon (Hwang Jun-ho), and Gong Yoo (Seller) will return
