If that wish turns out to be accurate, perhaps we could see the likes of Heo Sung-tae, Kim Joo-ryeong and Anupam Tripathi return in Squid Game season 2, after all. “My idea is that maybe the masked men took all of and made sure they came back to life,” Jung-jae told reporters on the red carpet. Speaking after winning Best Actor at this year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards, he revealed to Entertainment Tonight that he hopes to see fan-favorite characters like Sae-byeok and Ali return in new episodes. Mind you, Gi-hun actor Lee Jung-Jae recently shared his own wild idea for Squid Game season 2. The same goes for actors Heo Sung-tae and Oh Yeong-su, who played Jang Deok-su and Oh Il-nam in season 1, respectively. In a theory-debunking video feature with Vanity Fair, for instance, Sae-byeok actor HoYeon Jung said: "I was quite happy that can die so I can get rid of stress."Īs much as fans have called for Sae-byeok’s miraculous resurrection in Squid Game season 2, then, we think it’s highly unlikely she’ll be returning to the fray. It seems as though some of the actors who played those deceased characters aren't too fussed about not returning for more, either. Squid Game season 2 castīecause most of Squid Game’s season 1 characters (spoilers!) bite the dust, it’s difficult to predict which actors may return for season 2.Īs we explain in more detail below, we’re likely to see one (if not all) of Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, Lee Byung-hun and Gong Yoo return as Gi-hun, Jun-ho, In-ho and the recruiter, respectively, but the jury is out on the rest of season 2’s cast.

What’s more, given that Netflix boss Ted Sarandos spoke of a “Squid Game universe” in his announcement about the show’s renewal, we think it’s unlikely that Hwang’s world-beating series will stop at just two seasons. Hwang himself agrees, too, teasing in a recent press conference that he wants Hollywood stars to feature in a possible season 3. He then confirmed in November last year that "there will indeed be a second season" of Squid Game – before Netflix itself had revealed as much – with Hwang feeling as though audiences had left him "no choice" but to write more. In an October 2021 chat with The Hollywood Reporter, he said he did in fact have a few ideas for what a second season could look like, before later telling The Guardian that he actually has "a very high-level picture" of a potential follow-up story. In subsequent interviews, Hwang appeared increasingly confident about potential narratives for the future of Squid Game.
The runaway success of the show, though – which saw fans across the world tune in to Squid Game for a total of 1.6 billion hours during its opening month – seemed to encourage its creator to rethink his early reluctance. Creator Hwang was, at first, hesitant to talk about whether or not Squid Game season 2 would happen (he initially told The Sunday Times that it wouldn't), citing his desire to focus on other projects, including his aforementioned film project, Killing Old People Club.
It figures, then, that shooting on new episodes is now due to begin in 2023.Ģ024 might sound like a long wait for new episodes, but Squid Game fans should be grateful that a second season is in the works at all.

Hwang has also confirmed that production will begin on season 2 at some point in 2023.īack in June, the director confirmed – in an open letter to Twitter (see below) – that he'd submitted a script for his upcoming movie project, Killing Old People Club, and that he planned to dedicate the coming months towards writing Squid Game season 2. There’s been no confirmed release date for new episodes on the streamer's part, but Squid Game's creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, revealed in October (via Vanity Fair) that he hopes Squid Game season 2 will release in 2024 at the latest. Squid Game was officially renewed by Netflix for a second season in June 2022, some six months after Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos admitted to reporters that "the Squid Game universe has just begun." We could see more of the recruiter, too, while the show's famously gruesome challenges will also be returning. Story: The most likely plot thread to explore is Gi-hun’s quest for revenge, but creator Hwang has also expressed an interest in delving deeper into the relationship between The Front Man and his brother, Jun-ho. Wi Ha-joon and Gong Yoo could also all return as Jun-ho and the recruiter, respectively, but the likes of HoYeon Jung and Oh Yeong-su probably won’t be coming back (given that their characters are presumed dead). Cast: Hwang has promised that both Gi-hun and The Front Man, In-ho, will come back in season 2, meaning we’re likely to see actors Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun again.
