Hit Korean Series “Squid Game” Renewed for a Second Season

Considering season 1’s huge success, it is no surprise Squid Game has been renewed by Netflix for a second season:

The global sensation “Squid Game” will return for a second season, Netflix confirmed Monday.

“A whole new round is coming,” director, writer and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a letter to fans released by Netflix. “And now, Gi-hun returns. The Front Man returns. Season 2 is coming.”

Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, is the debt-ridden character who gets involved in a mysterious deadly contest to win 45.6 billion won (US$37.9 million) in prize money in the nine-part series.

Hwang added that Cheol-su, the “boyfriend” of the show’s animatronic doll, Young-hee, will be introduced to viewers in the next season.
