Squid Game Season 2 is getting a cast expansion. This means more characters to possibly fall in love with, and have our hearts broken if something unjust happens to them. While Netflix hasn’t revealed much details about the second season of its hit Korean Series, the streamer has revealed an expansion of the cast. This means new faces and new players in debt.

We have Lee Jung-jae (Seong Gi-hun), Gong Yoo (the recruiter), Wi Ha-joon (Hwang Jun-ho), and Lee Byung-hun (the Front Man/Hwang Jun-Ho’s brother) reprising their roles in the new season. While we saw Hwang Jung-ho being shot in season 1, and falling off a cliff, we never saw a body. There is a possibility he survived the gunshot wound. Maybe he’d even team up with Seong Gi-hun to take down his brother and the rest of the bad guys in season 2. The possibilities are endless.
NETFLIX REVEALS NEW DETAILS FOR SQUID GAME SEASON 2
Netflix confirmed that the new season “will follow Gi-hun as he abandons his plans to go to the U.S. and starts a chase with a motive,” said Netflix on Tuesday in Korea. Nothing else has been revealed thus far about the new season.
The company also confirmed that the original director, writer, and producer for Squid Game would also reprise his role for season 2. Hwang Dong-hyuk was the first Asian to win outstanding directing for a drama series at the Primetime Emmy Awards. The production of the series would be through Firstman Studio.
The new cast for the series includes Yim Si-wan (The Attorney, Misaeng: Incomplete Life), Kang Ha-neul (Love Reset, The Heirs), Park Gyu-young (A Good Day to Be a Dog), Park Sung-hoon (The Glory), Lee Jin-wook (“The Time We Were Not in Love”), Yang Dong-geun (The Forbidden Marriage), Kang Ae-shim (Supilreobeu), Lee David (Law School), Choi Seung-hyun (71: Into the Fire), Noh Jae-won (Once Upon a Small Town), Jo Yu-ri (Work Later, Drink Now), and Won Ji (Heartbeat).

Unfortunately, there is no release date for Season 2 as of yet. It was stated that it would be released sometime in 2024. “The Squid Game universe has just begun,” said Netflix co-chief last month on a conference call with financial analysts. The Squid Game universe has already been expanded to include an unscripted competition series, Squid Game: The Challenge, and an upcoming video game. The new season of the hit show is currently filming now in South Korea.
