Squid Game Season 2 Story Details & Script Update
Squid Gamecreator Hwang Dong-hyuk teases viewers about the show’s season 2 and offers new details about what it has in store. After the worldwide success of season 1, Netflix renewed Squid Game for a second season earlier this year. Right now, it is expected that its sophomore run will debut in either 2023 or 2024, as Hwang is still in pre-production.

Squid Game season 1 told a satisfying story, but also left some major plot threads dangling, thus leaving the door open for a continuation that Netflix quickly sought.
