Squid Game Season 2 Teaser Trailer Revealed
The game is about to begin again. The teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Squid Game Season 2 has arrived!
The Squid Game Season 2 teaser trailer was unveiled for the first time at Lucca Comics & Games, Europe’s biggest comic con, where tens of thousands of fans gathered. Fans were also treated to an in-person appearance by stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-jun, and director Hwang Dong-hyuk.
Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game quickly became a global juggernaut following its debut in 2021. After 12 years in development, it took just 12 days for it to become Netflix’s most popular series ever. Capturing the world’s attention, it dominated the Global Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks — a first for any non-English series — and made history with groundbreaking Emmy wins.
Squid Game Season 2 raises the stakes, with Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456. With a hardened demeanor and the scars of past games, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. Yet, his warnings go unheeded, and tensions rise as fellow players question his intentions.
The teaser also shows the return of Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man, whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy, while Wi Ha-jun‘s Hwang Jun-ho is back, driving the narrative forward as the relentless detective on a mission of his own.
Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game premiered in 2021 and quickly became Netflix’s most popular title ever. This global sensation boosted interest in K-content, iconic moments went viral, Vans slip-on sneakers sales increased 8,000%, and Halloween costumes sold out around the world, solidifying its place in pop culture.
The series made Emmy history with first-ever wins for a non-English language series. Following this success, Netflix debuted Squid Game: The Challenge, the Emmy-nominated and BAFTA-winning reality series that also topped the Netflix Global Top 10.
The franchise continues to expand with Squid Game: The Experience, a touring activation where fans can play series-inspired games; Squid Game: Virtuals, a Webby-winning VR adventure; and in 2024, a multiplayer video game, Squid Game: Unleashed.
Squid Game season 1 is now streaming on Netflix, with season 2 debuting on December 26 and the third and final season arriving in 2025.
Written and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series is executive produced by Kim Ji-yeon and Hwang Dong-hyuk. Firstman Studio is the production company for the series.
