The much-anticipated trailer for the second season of Squid Game has finally dropped, and it’s diving straight into the heart of the mystery: what on earth would possess someone to willingly step back into such a harrowing ordeal?
In true Squid Game fashion, the trailer brings back some iconic imagery from its predecessor. We catch glimpses of the ominous transparent pig filled with cash, that unsettlingly deadly little girl statue, and a few familiar faces from the original cast making a return. But what’s really catching my attention is the promise of punchy, sharp dialogue in the latest episodes. Lines like "Those who created this game, we should fight them" could very well echo through 2024 in the way "They got mansions, think we should rob them" did back in 2002. And I mean that as a major compliment!
Scheduled to hit Netflix on December 26, the second season comes with sky-high expectations. The first season didn’t just break records; it shattered them, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series globally with an astounding 1.65 billion hours viewed in just the first 28 days. Perhaps even more striking than these stats is how much competitors and content producers have invested trying to capture even a fraction of the Squid Game magic.
