The brutal Korean satire “Squid Game” became a global sensation when it first aired in 2021, and its return is set to be just as savage – with expectations high for another massive hit.
“Squid Game Season 2” will premiere on Thursday, December 26, 2024, making it the perfect binge-watch for the holiday season as Netflix closes out the year with this highly anticipated release.
Season 1 followed Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), a gambling addict who joins 455 other financially struggling individuals, all hoping to win a large cash prize by competing in a series of games.
