The Squid Game season 2 full trailer just dropped – and it looks seriously epic

Warning: This article contains Squid Game season one spoilers.

Squid Game season 2 is fast approaching – proven by the recent drop of the latest (very intense) trailer.

Coming out on Boxing Day, we already know it’s going to be perfect for that post-Christmas watch. And now, we finally know a little more about what we can expect from the second instalment of the most gripping, unsettling show in years.

Released on 17 September 2021, the Korean thriller was nominated for 14 Emmys, including Best Drama Series – a first for a non-English language title – and won six.

Not only was the show a critical hit, it was really, really popular, with the first season being described by Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarando as the streaming platform’s “biggest show ever.” It’s easy to see why – the concept was completely fascinating, and each episode left us quite literally on the edge of our seats.

The first season saw 456 players, all in debt, enter into a contest to fight it out for a huge cash prize. On the surface, the competition seemed like a series of simple children’s games, however contestants soon realised that losing a game also meant losing your life. Of all 456 players, only one winner survived. At the end of season 1, our hero, Seong Gi-hun, made the decision to head back into the arena to end the games once and for all.
