The official trailer for Squid Game season 2 has dropped, pulling us back into the thrilling chaos that made the series a global phenomenon. But the burning question remains: what could possibly motivate someone to willingly dive back into this deadly game?
The trailer stirs up nostalgia by showcasing familiar symbols from the first season, like the oddly comforting yet ominous piggy bank stuffed with cash, the deadly doll, and a few faces we’ve all come to know. Yet, what really amps up the excitement is the sneak peek at the sharp, snappy dialogue. The line, “Those who created this game, we should fight them,” might just become 2024’s equivalent of the iconic “They got mansions, think we should rob them” from way back in 2002. A comparison that’s meant in the highest praise.
Set to premiere on Netflix on December 26, season 2 comes with sky-high expectations riding on its shoulders. The first season didn’t just capture audiences—it shattered records, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series globally with a staggering 1.65 billion hours viewed in just its first month. What’s perhaps even more astounding is the lengths to which content creators and competing platforms have gone to tap into some of the Squid Game magic. If you’re itching to dive in before the premiere, you might find some Squid Game-like intrigue already streaming on Amazon Prime.
