There are many who are still waiting for news about the season 2 of Squid Game, a series that triumphed in 2021 and became a phenomenon in its premiere on Netflix. In fact, it was the only one that managed to unseat ‘The Bridgertons’ as the most watched series in the history of the platform.
It has already been a year since the first season could be seen and now we will have to keep waiting a little longer to find out how the South Korean series continues. Its creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is already giving some clues and revealed that the second installment will not premiere until late 2023 or as early as 2024

He told this in an interview to Vanity Fair, in which he also acknowledged that nothing is being shot yet, despite having renewed with Netflix months ago.
At the moment, he has three pages with ideas for the script of the new chapters that will have new games. “Humanity will be tested through those games again,” he noted. “I want to ask the question, ‘Is true solidarity between people really possible,'” he added.

“It was a very special group of people to work with,” says Lee Jung-jae. “Yeah, and I think another key to our teamwork would be drinking together a lot,” Hoyeon adds, laughing.

His words are explained if you know well the plot of the first season, in which the contestants of the games go around betraying each other on many occasions to survive and get the final prize of 45.6 billion won for the winner. Only the star Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) showed his solidarity and left the ending open for a second installment of the series.
The Squid Game will have new characters
The first season ended with the death of most of the main characters, but according to its creator a few months ago, the idea is that two of them will also be in season 2: “Gi-hun for sure. He will be back, and I think the leader will also be back,” he said.

It is also not ruled out that one of the characters most loved by the fans of the series but who apparently passed away in the first installment will return. HoYeon Jung, who played Kang Sae-byeok, could return as her twin sister. However, this is not confirmed, so we will have to wait for more details on the hit series.
