What will be the plot of Squid Game season 2?
Netflix has not looked into the plot of Squid Game season 2, but we can estimate what it will be.
Season 1 ended with Seong Gi-hun making a quick decision to re-enter the game after meeting the scout again (after a quick stop at the hairdresser to get a flashy new do).
As the Front Man has been confirmed to return, we assume Gi-hun will attempt to bring down the game from within as a competitor – but will he be able to sway anyone towards his cause?
Part of what makes the series so successful is its gruesome games, so we’re expecting more gruesome and elaborate settings for the second series.
Will Squid Game return for season 3?
Last year, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety there was a “50-50” chance the show’s second season would be its last – so it’s possible Squid Game could return for a third. season.
