Squid Game runs it back in season 2 trailer

Netflix released a new teaser for Squid Game's second season on Thursday. Gi-hun, again played by Lee Jung-jae, is participating in the games again, but based on the trailer, it appears that he will try to convince he other contestants to rebel against the competition - and that, at times, he may not be successful.

"Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the states and comes back with a new resolution in his mind," according to description of the show from the trailer. "Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won."

(I'm curious if the setup means the season will end similarly to the second entry of another series that pits people in a horrifying competition to the death.)

Ever since confirming back in 2022 that the show would get a second season, Netflix has been slowly drip-feeding updates about what to expect, including some of its new cast members, some images, and other teasers. But this new trailer offers perhaps our best look yet at what's to come when the season debuts on December 26th.

A third and final season is set to come out next year.
