According to Comicbook, the popular hit Korean drama series Squid Game is starting production on its second season, and a teaser has been shared. The series showcases challengers partaking in deadly challenges based on childhood games such as red light, green light, tug-of-war and many others. The previous season finale ended with Gi-Hun, played by Lee Jung-jae (The Acolyte), fighting against Sang-woo, played by Park Hae-soo (Prison Playbook), who, in the end, stabs himself, making Gi-Hun the winner. We then see him getting on the plane with dyed red hair, and he receives a phone call congratulating him. However, he has enough and turns around.

Along with Lee Jung-jae, returning characters will include Lee Byung-Hun (Concrete Utopia) as the Front Man, Wi Ha-jun (Midnight)as Detective Hwang Jun-Ho and Gong Yoo (Train to Busan), who portrayed the unnamed recruiter for the games.
