The social media announcement came with a video that comes with a minute-long clip, along with a close-up of a woman and men running on a crowded track.
While many are heard screaming, the camera is pointing to the frontman, who says, “It’s been three years. Do you want to play a game?
A second season’s synopsis read, “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. 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 added, “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.”
