Squid Game Star Shares Season 2 Release Date Update

Squid Game Season 2 is now in the works for some time later this year, and according to the leading star behind the new episodes we’ll be seeing Season 2 later this year! Hwang Dong-hyuk’s Squid Game released around the world on the streaming service some time ago and quickly took over the world due to its dark new perspective, so it was no surprise to find out that Netflix wanted to keep the franchise with a second season. In the works ever since, Squid Game Season 2 has been slated to release some time later this year. 

But while a proper release date has yet to be announced as of the time of this publication, it seems like Squid Game Season 2 will be releasing with Netflix this December. Speaking to Business Insider about his role in the upcoming season, Seong Gi-Hun actor Lee Jung-jae did not reveal any concrete details about what to expect from the upcoming story seen in the new episodes. But through an interpreter did reveal that the new episodes are indeed hitting at the end of the year, “It will be released in December.”
