As a devoted fan who’s been hooked since the very first episode of Squid Game, I can hardly contain my excitement as we approach the release of Season 2! Ever since that nail-biting cliffhanger left us hanging three years ago, I’ve been on tenterhooks, eagerly awaiting any morsel of news about our favorite survival game contestants.
As a passionate viewer, I can’t help but marvel at the phenomenal success of “Squid Game,” a series that has left an indelible mark on Netflix’s history, becoming one of its most-watched television shows ever. In anticipation of Season 2, it has once again broken records, solidifying its status as a global phenomenon.
Starting on September 17, 2021, the South Korean survival thriller made its Netflix premiere and quickly rose to become one of their most-watched TV shows. The series revolves around a game where an incredible 456 contestants battle for survival with the promise of winning a staggering ₩45.6 billion in prize money. Notable actors such as Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-joon, Jung Ho-yoon, and Park Hae-soo graced our screens in this production.
According to Variety’s latest report, the initial season of Squid Game has amassed a staggering 330 million views and more than 2.8 billion hours of viewing time since its debut. This impressive figure represents a significant 60% surge in viewership as we eagerly await the premiere of Season 2.
When is Squid Game Season 2 coming out?
In December 26, 2024, Squid Game Season 2 will make its worldwide premiere on Netflix, bringing back Lee as the sole survivor from the previous game, Seong Gi-hun. Joining him in the cast are Wi, Gong Yoo, and Lee Byung-hun. The esteemed Director Hwang Dong-hyuk, who was honored with an Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series award at the 74th Primetime Emmys, will once again take the director’s chair for this upcoming season.
