Netflix Drops Teaser for 'Squid Game' Season 2
Netflix has unveiled a teaser for the smash hit Korean survival drama series "Squid Game", which brings back Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun aka player no 456. The streaming service launched the teaser at its annual festival Geeked Week in Atlanta, Georgia. The much-awaited second season comes three years after the first chapter of the "Squid Game", which chronicled a contest where 456 players, all of them in deep financial debt, were brought to a secret play to play a deadly children's game for a chance to win a 45.6 billion won prize. The season two teaser clip opens with a tense Gi-hun holding a gun on an approaching masked figure.
It quickly shifts to the new participants preparing to begin a new life-or-death game, with a narrator in the background, saying, "We're ready to start the game.” "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," read the official season two synopsis.
