More about Squid Game Season 2

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, renowned for his Emmy-winning work on Season 1, will helm and executive produce all episodes of Season 2. The plot of the first season followed 456 participants, all grappling with dire financial struggles, who risked their lives in a series of lethal children's games for the chance to claim a hefty prize. The challenges posed to them were all Korean children's games, which made the plot even more sinister. 

However, although the plot of the second season has not been revealed yet, from the last few minutes of the finale episode of season 1, it can be assumed that Seong Gi Hun will return to take revenge on the creators of the game. He will be entering the game again and might finally learn the secrets he has been searching for for a year. Moreover, the status of Hwang Jun Ho, the detective who infiltrated the game, has been shrouded in mystery. The new faces joining the show add to the intrigue and excitement for the second season.
