Netflix Announces 'Squid Game' Season 2 Premiere Date; Full Cast and Official Synopsis Revealed

Mumbai, August 1 - Netflix finally set a premiere date for its highly-awaited Squid Game Season 2 and has also announced the third season which will be the end of the show.

Written, created, and directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game Season 2 will premiere on December 26 globally this year while the third and final season will premiere in 2025. The release date of this sci-fi survival action thriller show was announced with a video.



Season 1 of Squid Game, which is the most-watched Netflix title ever (in any category) with 265.2 million views (2.20 billion viewing hours), introduced fans to the K-drama's titular deadly game, which forces citizens to gamble with their lives. In return, they may win a world-changing cash prize — or suffer the dire consequences.

The official synopsis of Season 2 reads, "Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it".

The upcoming show features the returning cast in Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Gong Yoo, and Wi Ha-jun while newcomers Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Jo Yu-ri, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, and Won Ji-an will all appear as an ensemble of colourful new characters.
