As a pleasant surprise to fans, a 'Welcome Players' teaser for Squid Game Season 2 was released by Netflix on August 12. When Squid Game made its OTT platform debut in 2021, it went on to become an international phenomenon. Now, the second season is scheduled to be released on December 26.
In the video, a montage of various player numbers pasted on their green tracksuits is shown before panning to number 456. It belongs to Lee Jung-jae's character Gi-hun, who gives the camera a fierce glance before the phrase "The real game begins" is shown.
Lee Jung-jae will return to the role of the lone survivor from the first set of lethal games. While the faces of new characters are not shown, the video concludes with a bird-eye view of the colorful set of the game and the red suit-donned guards walking in a queue.

Netflix announces Squid Game season 3 prospective release date along with season 2
The third and final season of the thriller show has been renewed. The season will be released in 2025, as announced by Netflix. In an emotional message to fans, series director, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk announced the news earlier this month.
He wrote in the letter:
“I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season. The fierce clash between two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year."
The third season of Squid Game, which will continue in the fast-paced vein of its predecessors, was hinted at in Hwang's letter. The filmmaker acknowledges Front Man's standing as a formidable foe and Gi-hun's startling promise of retaliation against the game in Season 2.
