"Squid Game" Season 2 Teaser Reveals New and Returning Cast

The official teaser for the second season of Netflix‘s dystopian Korean series “Squid Game” is here.

The footage for the immensely popular South Korean show debuted at Netflix’s Tudum 2023 event in Brazil.

The teaser shows off a number of scenes from the first season, such as the deadly "Red Light, Green Light" game and the "Glass Bridge Race," which contestants were forced to try and beat in order to earn an enormous cash prize. 

The upcoming season of the Korean dystopian drama will feature both returning and new cast members. It also showed lead Korean icon Lee Jung-jae, playing cash-strapped everyman Seong Gi-hun, back for a second season.

Also returning for the season will be the game's mysterious masked Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, and Wi Ha-jun, who plays the cop in search of his missing brother who gets in over his head behind the scenes of the deadly game.

Gong Yoo has also been listed to reprise his role as the salesman.

The series will also welcome new cast members Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, and Yang Dong-geun. All four of them appear hovering over the button that allows players to vote on continuing the games, so it is possible that they are all playing contestants - or perhaps something more sinister.

“Squid Game” was first announced in 2019 and debuted on September 17, 2021, on Netflix. The series became a global sensation and would go on to break numerous viewer records at Netflix. 

It remains the platform's most widely-watched series and was the "biggest-ever series at launch" for the giant streamer. 

The series is Netflix's first-ever Korean series to reach No. 1 in the United States, attracting 1.65 billion hours of viewing in the 28 days following its release. It surpassed the previous record-holder, "Bridgerton", which received a staggering 14 Primetime Emmy nominations and became the first foreign-language show to be nominated for Outstanding Drama Series. 

“Squid Game” followed hundreds of cash-strapped contestants who accept an invitation to compete in children's games for a tempting prize, but the stakes are deadly.
