Gi-Hun Makes A Radical Suggestion As New Players Join The Game

The latest trailer for Squid Game season 2 has been revealed. The Korean-language Netflix show took the world by storm when it was released in 2021, introducing a thrilling story of what happens when hundreds of people in dire financial straits compete with each other in a series of children’s games with deadly consequences. Squid Game season 1 cast featured Lee Jung-jae, Park Hae-soo, Nandito Hidayattullah Putra, Yasushi Iwaki, and Wi Ha-joon. The series won six Emmys, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for Lee.

Now, Netflix has released the trailer for Squid Game season 2. The trailer shows a new group of people being lured into the titular game, with one person being beckoned into a car by one of the show’s iconic masked guards. Talking to a microphone on a golden piggy bank, Gi-hun decides to re-enter the games. The next footage shows a series of familiar beats as new characters are introduced to the game. Questioned about why he would return to engage in this deadly tomfoolery, Gi-hun makes an extreme statement, “The players should fight the game creators.“

What This Means For Squid Game Season 2

The Stakes Are High In Squid Game Season 2

The new trailer for Squid Game season 2 displays how the Netflix series will contain the signature elements while adding some variation. In particular, Gi-hun is now a knowledgeable player in these games, rather than an unfortunate victim of the system. However, even a similar setup poses a challenge since season 2 has to reinvent itself and introduce a whole new series of players for the next set of games. This is because the Squid Game season 1 ending concluded with Gi-hun as the sole winner, while Hwang Jun-ho seems to have survived his fall based on the previews.

The Squid Game season 2 trailer also hinted at how this season will leave the bounds of the games. In a fleeting moment, the scene transitions to armed people in some forest. This suggests that there might be outsiders, or perhaps even people working with Gi-hun, who attack the stronghold from the outside. Gi-hun’s revolution against the game creators also suggests a different kind of battle in season 2, even if it still has some classic games like “Red Light Green Light.”

Our Take On The Squid Game Season 2 Trailer

Squid Game Season 2 Looks Exciting

Even with this trailer, there is still a risk that Squid Game will repeat too many of the same patterns from the previous season. Netflix will be tempted to include more game elements than just “Red Light Green Light,” as those sequences went viral at the time of the first season’s release. However, the premise does look intriguing enough to sustain Squid Game for a fascinating season 2.

Squid Game season 2 premieres on Netflix on December 26.

In Squid Game, a mysterious invitation to join a competition is sent to people at risk who are in dire need of money. Four hundred fifty-six participants from all walks of life are locked into a secret location where they play games to win 45.6 billion won. Games are selected from traditional Korean children’s games, such as Red Light and Green Light, but the consequence of losing is death. To survive, competitors must choose their alliances carefully – but the further they go in the competition, the more likely betrayal will rear its ugly head.
