Finally, the wait has an end: Squid Game Season 2 is coming this year!
It was September 2021, the world seemed to come to a standstill due to a pandemic, and people sought refuge in various forms of entertainment that could be consumed from the comfort of their sofas.
It was in that time that a Korean Netflix series conquered the world: Squid Game. In this drama series, participants compete in a game show, playing children's games. The winner could claim 45.6 million won. However, there's a catch: losers pay with their lives.
The series broke the record for the most successful series launch on Netflix at the time and at the end of last year, the reality show spin-off 'Squid Game: The Challenge' followed. We had to wait a long time for a real second season that continues the story of the gambling-addicted Gi-hun. Now, we finally know when the second season will launch.
Squid Game Season 2 Will Start In 2024
In a letter to Netflix shareholders, the company lists several series that will be available on the streaming service in the coming year. Alongside the 3rd season of Bridgerton and the new series 3 Body Problem, the 2nd season of Squid Game is also mentioned.
Looking ahead, despite last year's strikes pushing back the launch of some titles, we have a big, bold slate for 2024. Audiences will be able to choose from hit returning dramas like 'The Diplomat' S2, 'Bridgerton' S3, 'Squid Game' S2 and 'Empress' S2; unscripted series like 'Tour de France: Unchained' S2,' Love is Blind' S6, 'F1: Drive to Survive' S6 and 'Full Swing' S2; and brand new shows like '3 Body Problem' (based on the best selling novel and from the 'Game of Thrones' showrunners), 'Griselda' (starring Sofia Vegara, which premieres this week), 'The Gentlemen' (from Guy Ritchie), 'Eric' (starring Benedict Cumberbach), 'Avatar: The Last Airbender', 'Cien Años de Soledad,' from Colombia based on the novel by Gabriel García Márquez and Senna from Brazil.
The exact release date for the new season remains unclear at this point. Nevertheless, we can't wait to see if Gi-hun takes charge with his pink hair this season.
