The official trailer for Squid Game Season 2 has dropped, and it’s centered around the burning question: why on earth would anyone willingly dive back into this perilous game?
The preview reintroduces iconic elements from the first season, like the see-through pig filled with cash, the menacing giant girl statue, and a few familiar faces from the original cast. What truly excites me, though, is the hint of the series’ sharp and memorable dialogue. When a character proposes, “Those who created this game, we should fight them,” it’s as impactful for 2024 as “They got mansions, think we should rob them” was back in 2002. Trust me, that’s intended as high praise.
With its premiere set for December 26 on Netflix, Season 2 comes with sky-high expectations. The debut season didn’t just captivate audiences; it smashed records, becoming Netflix’s most-watched show globally. And honestly, the only thing more staggering than its 1.65 billion viewing hours in the first 28 days is the measure of resources rivals and content creators have poured into capitalizing on the Squid Game phenomenon. If the wait for the new season is too long, just remember—you might find a version of Squid Game closer to home on Amazon Prime.
