The news was made via Netflix's official social media platforms, which sparked excitement among fans all across the world.

Squid Game Season 2 has yet to receive an official trailer from Netflix. We'll update this page with the first trailer and further trailers when they become available from Netflix.
Hwang Dong-hyuk, the writer, director, producer, and inventor of Squid Game, delivered a message after the first teaser trailer. Hwang thanked the fans in a follow-up tweet, and hinted some fascinating narrative aspects and returning characters for Season 2. So, let's take a look at what we know about Squid Game's second season on Netflix.
Cast Members of Squid Game Season 2
Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) will return in Season 2 of Squid Game, according to Hwang's Twitter message (attached below). In the first season, the fans adored his portrayal, and it will be fascinating to watch what the character does next.
So far, we know that he won the game, but instead of spending his 45 billion (USD$ 35 million) prize money, he spent his days contemplating the crimes that occurred on the secret island. Gi-hun is an intriguing individual who has risen from poverty, but his principles are preventing him from living a quiet life. As a result, it would be fantastic to watch Jung-jae reprise his role as the sweet protagonist.
Aside from that, Hwang has hinted at the reappearance of the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), a former cop who now manages the game and commands the cult-like group's masked members. The character shot his brother, Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), a police officer who sneaks onto the island where the games are held, in the first season. However, the program never verified his death, and fans anticipate Ha-joon to reprise his part in the future.
Having said that, it'll be intriguing to see if the Front Man shot his brother in a way that didn't kill him on purpose. The mystery surrounding this sibling combination, as well as the narrative of how the officer became the Front Man, might be explored in the second season.
Furthermore, Gong Yoo's character, the gorgeous man with the ddakji game in his bag, will return for a second season. This guy was last seen playing the ddakji game on a train station when Gi-hun spotted him from the opposite side. That suggests he's still working for the nefarious organization, and we'll be seeing more of him in the near future.
"Cheol-su" was also teased by director Hwang, who named him as Young-boyfriend. hee's Young-hee is the murderous robot doll from the Red Light Green Light game's premiere episode. Is there going to be any more killer robots this season? That appears to be the case, but only time will tell.
Season 2 of Squid Game: Plot Summary
The season one conclusion of Squid Game ended on a cliffhanger. We witnessed the main character, Seong Gi-hun, refuse to board the plane after learning that the game is still running and that the developers are watching him. It's only natural that Gi-hun will be the main character in the Season 2 tale.
We do not, however, know what to expect from the plot. Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show's writer-director, said it took him 12 years to write the final screenplay for season one, and he had no plans to continue the tale at the time. As a result, we're in for a pleasant surprise.
The only hint we have right now is that following Oh Il-(Player nam's 001) death, the game is being continued by someone else. In an interview with The New York Times, Hwang stated that in Squid Game Season 2, he would like to investigate Front Man's origins. Audiences may expect to see how a former officer finds up managing a lethal game now that he's confirmed for the second season. Apart from that, it will be fascinating to see who is behind it and what efforts Gi-hun would take to stop them.
At the end of the day, one thing is certain: Season 2 will feature another round of the Squid Game. That implies that in each game, a fresh group of individuals will be fighting for their life (possibly new ones this time around). Next season, we may expect more murders, betrayals, and a dark mystery to develop.

Red Light, Green Light:
Anyone who moves at the red light or does not cross the finish line before time runs out is eliminated by the robot doll.
Participants must cut out the form they choose from the sugar candy (dalgona/ppopgi). To advance to the following round, only those who remove the form without breaking it are eligible.
Tug of War: Participants were divided into teams and competed in a tug-of-war contest. In each round, the team with the most points wins.
Marbles: The participants were divided into pairs and were required to play a marble game with their companions. They can play any Marble game they like, but they must win all of them to survive.
The Glass Tile Game: In this game, the players must first pick a number. They were then instructed to go across a glass bridge in sequence. They will fall and die if they step on the wrong tile.
At the conclusion, the two remaining players play the Squid Game.
