At Lucca Comics and Games, Europe’s biggest comics convention, Netflix dropped a new trailer hyping up Squid Game Season 2. The main teaser trailer for the highly anticipated second season of the hit K-drama series sent thousands of fans into a frenzy.

Fans than gathered for this special sneak peek of the new season were also treated to an in-person appearance by stars Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-jun, and director Hwang Dong-hyuk, which added to the excitement.

Let The Games Begin

Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game quickly became a global juggernaut following its debut in 2021. After 12 years in development, it took just 12 days for it to become Netflix’s most popular series ever.

Capturing the world’s attention, it dominated the Global Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks — a first for any non-English series — and made history with ground-breaking Emmy wins.

Round Two…

Season 2 raises the stakes, with Lee Jung-jae reprising his role as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456. With a hardened demeanor and the scars of past games, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. Yet, his warnings go unheeded, and tensions rise as fellow players question his intentions.

The teaser also shows the return of Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man, whose true motivations remain cloaked in secrecy, while Wi Ha-jun’s Hwang Jun-ho is back, driving the narrative forward as the relentless detective on a mission of his own.
