'Squid Game' season 2

The new trailer for Squid Game season two will arrive today (September 19), Netflix has announced.

The hit K-drama is due to premiere later this year, and ahead of its release, the streamer has previously teased fans with a brief clip.

Last month, a clip was shared in which we see a number of players’ numbers flash across the screen, before focusing on 456 – aka Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) – who turns to look at the camera.

The text then reads: “The real game begins.”

Yesterday (September 18), Netflix announced that a new trailer would be arriving today, with the caption: “It’s almost time to pull you back in.” It followed with an image that was captioned, “The game will not stop” – check it out here:

Season two’s release date of December 26 was announced last month, alongside the news that the show had been renewed for a third and final season.

The new episodes will continue the story of Gi-hun, the winner at the end of season one, as the character becomes “determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport”.

Gi-hun uses his winnings to “fund his search” as he realises “the path toward taking down the organisation proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it”.

Show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has also released a letter to fans, in which he addressed the show’s final two seasons.

“I am thrilled to see the seed that was plated in created a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, show star Wi Ha-joon recently teased his character Hwang Jun-ho’s role in the second season, revealing that the police officer will have “his own story in here”.
