First pictures and a scene from Squid Game: Season 2

There are no concrete details about the story of season 2 at the moment. The images shown at least indicate that Gi-Hun is taking part in the deadly games for a second time. And of course the Salesman, who recruited Gi-Hun for the Squid Game in the first season, could come into play.
A final trailer for Squid Game: Season 2 and an exact release date are currently still awaited. The new episodes are scheduled to premiere on Netflix sometime in 2024.
And if you’re wondering why the second season took so long to arrive: Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk only began developing the story shortly after the release of season 1. Neither he nor Netflix probably expected the groundbreaking success of Squid Game.
This meant that season 2 had to be written first, which is why filming was not completed until the end of 2023. Netflix revealed who is returning or joining the new episodes of Squid Game in the following video:
