The second season of "Squid Game" is set to return with more bloodshed
"Squid Game" broke all Netflix records, becoming their historic best production. Within 28 days of its premiere, the series was viewed by 142 million viewers. The bloody gameplay terrified, repulsed and surprised at every turn. What is known about the second season?
The bloody series achieved great success during the pandemic. The series attracted 140 million users in September 2021 and broke the "Bridgerton" record. Continuing "Squid Game" became a business necessity, but materialising took a long time. Everyone wondered what the second season could reveal: Another game with the same rules? Let’s recall that in the first season, we saw a world of depraved rich people who wanted to watch brutal, bloody tasks for their own entertainment, in which many people died in horrible conditions, racing for 45.6 billion won (approx £28.2 million).
Second season of "Squid Game" - Netflix has news
Netflix shared the first teaser of the second season of the Korean production. It's not a full-fledged trailer yet but merely a taste of it, so Netflix doesn't reveal much. However, what has been speculated for months is confirmed - the return of Gi-hun, who will play the bloody game once again. This will happen on 25th December.
As Netflix describes it: "Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the States and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won (approx £28.2 million)."
The first season of "Squid Game" premiered on 17th September 2021 and immediately attracted the attention of millions of users from around the world. Nothing like this had been seen on television and streaming before. The brutal game trended in 94 countries worldwide, attracting a total of 142 million internet users who spent 1.65 billion hours watching "Squid Game" in the first four weeks after its premiere. The series became a brand worth 675 million pounds (approx).
