The Acolyte’s Lee Jung-jae is returning for the second season of Squid Game coming to Netflix on December 26th, 2024, with his character Seong Gi-hun set on revenge and joining the game again.
A letter from Hwang Dong-hyuk (Director, Writer, and Executive Producer of ‘Squid Game’): It’s been almost three years since Season 1 was met with incredible response around the world and many unimaginable events took place. I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season.
On the first day we began shooting Season 2, I remember thinking, “Wow, I can’t believe I’m back in the world of Squid Game.” It almost felt surreal. I wonder how it will feel for you to be back in Squid Game after three years, as well.
Seong Gi-hun who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1 returns and joins the game again. Will he succeed in getting his revenge? Front Man doesn’t seem to be an easy opponent this time either. The fierce clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.
I am thrilled to see the seed that was planted in creating a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story.
We’ll do our best to make sure we bring you yet another thrill ride. I hope you’re excited for what’s to come. Thank you, always, and see you soon, everyone.
Watch the first season of Squid Game on Netflix, and see Lee Jung-jae as Jedi Master Sol in the first season of The Acolyte on Disney+ now.
