On July 31, Netflix announced that season 2 of Squid Game will be released on December 26, 2024.
The streamer also confirmed that Squid Game will return for a third and final season in 2025.
Netflix later disclosed new details about the Squid Game Season 2 plot. “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae) remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport,” an official synopsis reads. “Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway.”
The synopsis continues, “But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”

In June 2023, it was reported that former IZ*ONE member Jo Yuri was cast in the second season of Squid Game. Netflix also announced other season 2 newcomers including Yim Si-wan (Misaeng), Kang Ha-neul (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo), Park Sung-hoon (The Glory) and Yang Dong-geun (The Forbidden Marriage).
During an appearance on MBC FM4U radio show Kim Shin Young’s Hope Song At Noon in August 2023, K-pop star Jo Yuri talked about how she felt when she found out she was cast in season 2.
“I auditioned for a long time for this production,” she revealed, per Koreaboo. “When I received confirmation that I was cast, I was so happy. I don’t remember what exactly happened because my sudden excitement level went up and it was like that moment was erased from my mind. It felt like a dream. I was that happy.”
Back in June 2022, Squid Game executive producer Kim Ji-yeon told Tudum about the pressure of working on the second season of such a successful show.
“I know that a lot of the different fans and audiences have enjoyed the series very much but really we’re focusing on how to make it even more joyful to the global audience,” he said. “We are working on the script right now and making the form of the story. But there’s definitely a lot of pressure on how to make [season 2] even better.”
