Since Squid Game was given the go-ahead for a second season in 2022, fans of the thriller have been eagerly awaiting its premiere on Netflix to feel the chill run through their spines all over again. The big-hit South Korean drama will not be added to Netflix’s collection until March 2023. In fact, the lack of any updates on the second season suggests that the show may not air in 2023 at all.

For those who are unfamiliar, Squid Game is a high-stakes game in which 456 players fight to survive. The games are distorted versions of traditional Korean games for kids designed to win a large sum of money. With just one winner out of 456, things are sure to become nasty, and relationships are certain to fall apart. The first two episodes of Squid Game were written in six months by the show’s creator, Emmy winner Hwang Dong-hyuk.
On June 12, 2022, this popular Korean drama got renewed for a second season. The announcement was made on the official Twitter account, with the caption “Gi-hun returns.” The Front Man is back”. Season 2 is on its way. The man in the suit with ddakji could return. You’ll also meet Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su. Join us again for a brand new round!”
With the arrival of a new round, we anticipate the addition of some new cast members. If not, we might learn something new about the old ones.Dong-hyuk released a previously unreleased footage from season one in September 2022, and it did not take long for it to become a hit. The movie, dubbed “the shocking reveal of Front Man” by Netflix, shows a man carrying a bag of goldfish before the camera sees his face.
Nominated for Bingeworthy Show of the Year, People’s Choice Awards, and more, it’s no surprise that Squid Game got renewed for a second season, despite only being ordered for one. During Netflix’s fourth-quarter 2021 earnings call, Ted Sarandos, co-CEO and chief content officer, was asked if the streaming giant’s hit series would be renewed for a second season. “Absolutely,” Sarandos replied. “The universe of Squid Game has only just begun.”
