"Squid Game" Season 2 stormed Netflix’s chart of most popular non-English-language shows, debuting at No. 7. This week, it rocketed to No. 2, surpassed only by the first season of the same series, which garnered 265.2 million views in its first 91 days. However, Season 2 seems poised to break that record with 80 more days to go.
“Squid Game” was expected to be a massive hit when it returned for Season 2, considering Season 1 was by far the most-watched Netflix series ever. However, it has now created another massive record.
“Squid Game” Season 2 picks up with Player 456, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), and Detective Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-jun), while Lee Byung-hun returns as the enigmatic Front Man, maintaining the series' signature eerie intensity.
The official synopsis from Netflix indicates, “Three years after his victory, Gi-hun forgoes a chance to move to the United States and instead returns to the game with a renewed sense of purpose. He faces familiar enemies like the sinister Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun) and new competitors who vie for the ultimate prize of 45.6 billion won ($38,460,271).”
The thriller-drama, which became the biggest viral hit of 2020, is making a comeback. Netflix has recently announced that the second season of “Squid Game” will debut on December 26, 2024, with the concluding third season set to be released in 2025.
“Squid Game” actor O Yeong-Su has been given an eight-month suspended prison sentence for sexual misconduct by a court in South Korea. The 79-year-old was charged in 2022 with sexually assaulting a woman twice, reports BBC.
As fans eagerly await the return of the global K-drama phenomenon, “Squid Game” season two, controversies have cast uncertain shadows over its Netflix premiere scheduled for later this year. The original series, released on the streaming platform in 2021, garnered immense popularity and introduced fan-favourite actors who were previously underrated.
