The first extended look at season two of Squid Game shows that the game won’t get any easier for any of the green-tracksuited contestants.
Netflix has released a teaser for its global hit’s second season that finds Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) playing once again. This time, however, he’s surrounded by a host of new players who don’t know as well as he does what they’re in for — and in some cases don’t seem to care, as they’re drawn by the potential to win a life-changing sum of money that’s dangled in front of them.
When Seong tries to explain he’s played the games before, another player wonders “Why the hell would you come crawling back?” before leading a chant of “One more game!” among his fellow players. Watch the teaser below.
The nearly two-minute teaser expands on an earlier clip that mostly served to set the scene for season two. The new video shows a number of the game’s new contestants and a few brutal moments at the hands of the people running the competition.
Netflix describes season two as follows: “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind. Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.”
Along with Lee Jung-jae, the show’s returning cast includes Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon and Gong Yoo. They’re joined by Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri and Won Ji-an.
Season two of Squid Game premieres Dec. 26; writer, director and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk has said the show will conclude with a third season set to premiere sometime next year.
