The highly anticipated second season of Netflix’s hit series Squid Game has finally dropped its first teaser, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the grim world of survival games. According to Screenrant, the teaser shows the return of the Salesman, played by Gong Yoo (Train to Busan), who was the person who recruited individuals such as Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae (The Acolyte), into playing a game with him. It shows the Salesman in his apartment preparing to start his job as he grabs some blue and red Ddakji paper titles. He is then seen on his work commute as he checks his watch. The teaser ends with him flashing the tiles, saying, “Sir. Would you like to play a game with me?”
According to Screenrant, the second season could explore the character more as well as provide deeper understanding of the game’s inner workings. The new season will surely be filled with deadlier challenges, similar to the first one, with red light, green light, tug of war and glass stepping stones. In a previous mxdwn post, some footage was revealed at this year’s Geek Week, giving a glimpse into the action and obstacles the challengers will have to overcome.
According to an mxdwn post, the new contestants of the second season will include Yim Si-Wan (Emergency Declaration), Kang Ha-Neul (The Pirates: The Last Royal Treasure) and Park Sung-Hoon (A Frozen Flower), alongside returning characters such as Jung-jae, Wi Ha-jun (Midnight) as Detective Hwang Jun-Ho, Lee Byung-Hun (Concrete Utopia) as the Front Man and Yoo
While the teaser doesn’t reveal much about the plot of season two, it will surely be similar to the previous season, as it succeeds in building anticipation for the upcoming series. While fans are awaiting news on the release date of the approaching season, the entire first one of Squid Game is available to stream on Netflix. Time will only tell how the new contenders will outsmart and survive the deadly challenges that await them.
