Squid Game: Season 2 promises to be bloody
It's going to be Netflix's year-end event, and the promotional campaign is already starting. While the company often reserves the sharing of trailers and exclusive images for the weeks leading up to the launch, Squid Game is not one of those small productions for the streaming giant. After a short teaser, it is a poster which was shared during the Geeked Week. For the spectators, it is an opportunity to be reassured about the content of these new episodes. Unsurprisingly, it will still not be child's play for the heroes. We can see a soldier dragging a body with trails of blood and the rainbow pattern on the ground. Fans will be happy to learn that Seonh Gi-hun is not the victim, she wears the number 392 (unless the character has changed number for the new part). As a reminder, he was assigned the last place in 2021 and wore the player number 456.

New part
This exclusive image is accompanied by a synopsis, allowing us to learn more about the narrative that will unfold. “Three years after winning Squid Game, player 456 has given up on going to the United States and returns with a new resolve in mind. Gi-hun dives back into the survival game, starting another fight against death with new participants gathered to win the 45.6 billion won prize.”. The previous season finale showed him determined to bring down the organizers of this sadistic game, to overthrow the secret group. It will probably also be a question of learning more about the characters hiding behind the masks.
Jung-jae Lee takes over the lead role while new faces join in. Si-wan Yim (Unlocked) will be there, for example. The identity of his character remains a mystery. Hwang Dong-hyuk returns to write and direct, even though he did not have the ambition to offer a sequel to the adventures of Seong Gi-hun. The success of the first salvo and Netflix's arguments nevertheless convinced him, and twice rather than once.
A season 3 on the program
A few weeks ago, Netflix made the start of construction official of a third and final season. If the platform wants to make the pleasure last, it has no intention of boring the spectators and will offer a finale that we imagine to be epic. This season 3 is already promised a released in 2025things will thus accelerate. Three years separate seasons 1 and 2, we will only have to wait a few months for the conclusion of the series. It remains to be seen whether the public will be there, whether this new batch of episodes will reach the stratospheric levels of its predecessor. Without the surprise effect and with a very dense offer at the end of the year, will Squid Game manage to maintain its status as the most viewed series in the history of Netflix?
