Will there be a season 2 of Squid Game?

Co-CEO and chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, confirmed would be returning for a second season.

Creator, writer, and director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, said he expects the show to be released at the end of 2023 or early 2024 at the latest.

Dong-hyuk revealed the news in November 2021, during an interview with the .

“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season," he told the media outlet.

"So I almost feel like you leave us no choice! But I will say there will indeed be a second season."

Dong-hyuk told that Squid Game had been a concept for a decade before anyone decided to pick it up.

When Netflix opened a division in Asia, he decided it was time to dust off the script and try to get it picked up again.

Netflix agreed to take on the project and within 10 days of its release, Squid Game was the most-watched show in 90 countries.

Fans can watch season one exclusively on Netflix in preparation for the new season.

What will happen in season two?

The plot for season two is still in the early stages, according to Dong-hyuk who has three pages of story ideas six months after announcing the new season.

Although Dong-hyuk is still in the early stages of prepping the script and creating the storyline, he said Gi-hun will be coming back and the Front Man from round one of the games may play a bigger role.
