Two months after announcing the highly anticipated return of Squid Game Season two, the creator of the popular South Korean show has revealed what fans should expect.
Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game’s creator, says season two’s plot will naturally evolve from where the story ended in season one.
During an exclusive interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Hwang stated that he does not want to make the second season in response to people’s reactions, with no spoilers.
“I’ve seen many reactions from people about the show, but I don’t want to make season two as a response to those reactions.

“The philosophies I put in season one all naturally extend to season two. Instead of trying to meet the expectations of viewers, I just thought about the last moment when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane, and I thought about what he will do next.
“There will naturally be a flow of events that will lead all the way to the end of the season. I can’t share any details yet, but you know that Seong Gi-hun has become a totally new person by the end of season one, so season two is going to be about what that new Gi-hun is going to do and how things will unfold with this new kind of character.”
In the season two teaser trailer, which was released ten months ago, the audience is left curious as player 456, Seong Gi-hun, receives a phone call that appears to invite him to participate in the game as he prepares to board a plane.
Season one revolved around a contest in which 456 players, all of whom were in serious financial trouble, risked their lives to play a series of lethal children’s games for the chance to win a $45.6 billion (Ksh4.2 billion) prize.
