Actor Lee Jung-Jae, who plays the main character Seong Gi-hun, announces the news about the release of the second season of Squid Game and it’s great! It’s finally coming to Netflix.
Netflix is cautious in communicating about Squid Game Season 2. So far, the company 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 unknown character who is said to be the creator of the deadly games in which 456 men and women take part in season 1. “You will regret your decision. I will find you, no matter what it takes.”
A real release window for Squid Game Season 2
According to the first images, Season 2 of Squid Game will have revenge as its main theme. The information was also confirmed by Seong Gi-Hun’s actor Lee Jung-Jae, who hinted that his character would hunt down the creator of the macabre games. Netflix had announced these new episodes would air in the second half of 2024 and we now have a month to go. “It will be available in December” Lee Jung-Jae told Business Insider. We still have to wait for the final date, which will surely be announced in a trailer, but we are moving forward and have never been closer to release.
Squid Game Season 2 will be one of Netflix’s flagship releases in 2024. To date, it remains one of the biggest hits for a non-English language series. The Hwang Dong-hyeok TV show has garnered millions of hours of viewing and even won awards such as Best Director at the 2022 Emmy Awards. After this great success, the video streaming platform has developed a reality TV show, Squid Game: The Challenge Using the principle of the series but without the deaths. To reproduce the elimination of real candidates, a bag of black liquid was used to distance itself from the true color of the blood.
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 journalist Jeff Sneider’s sources. “ David Fincher is quietly working on Squid Game » he said a few months ago. A project that will undoubtedly cause division, but the good news is that it has been given to an excellent director. This rumor is even more believable because David Fincher has yet to collaborate with Netflix on various unannounced things. In just a few hours, subscribers can also discover The 8 Show. A Korean series that has visible proximity to Squid Game due to its themes such as gaming or social drama. A psychological thriller where 8 players compete across 8 floors and the ultimate goal is to systematically collect as much money as possible. It will be available on May 17th.
