After an extended wait, Netflix says 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. No other series captivated the world and social media like Squid Game.
The show was a very simple concept of people doing anything to make extra money and competing in semi-complex games. However, the catch was if they failed they would be executed which certainly brings the wow factor.
Reportedly there were no plans for another season but of course, the attention the series garnered changed everyone’s mind. After all who wants to leave money on the table? 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. Furthermore, the platform announced Season 3 will follow but will be the end of 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. Also, the show’s star Sean Gi-Hun 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.
