After an extended wait, Netflix announced that the long-awaited sequel to Squid Game will be released this December with a final season to follow.
During the pandemic, Hollywood came to a standstill and new content was almost non-existent. This paved the way for content that wouldn’t usually become a phenomenon to shine and Squid Game captivated the world.
The show centered around people being executed if they fail at a series of games that had watchers transfixed, and after releasing a reality show spinoff, Netlifx is announcing its official sequel.
After almost two years, the wait for season 2 is coming to an end.
According to Netflix, Season 2 will be released globally on December 26. The streaming service also added that season 3 will follow as a finale to the series.
“I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season,” Executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed. “The fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man’s] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.”
We don’t know much about Season 2 of Squid Game except players will once again compete for a prize of $45.6 Billion. We do know however that the show’s star Sean Gi-Hun’s storyline will continue with him chasing after the “Front Man” and those responsible for the deadly game. Gi-Hun’s quest to bring justice for those who lost their life trying to escape poverty will also carry over to Season 3.
