What to Expect from Squid Game Season 2: Killer Doll Boyfriend and Ki Hoon's Comic Side

Unexpected for everyone, including streaming platform and the creators of Squid Game, the show topped the list of the most watched Netflix series in 90 countries, collected many awards and made South Korean actors (known mainly to drama fans) the world over.

No one doubted that the most popular series of the past year would be renewed for the next season. And the creator of the series himself, director and screenwriter Hwang Dong-hyuk, announced the 2nd season in November 2021. And on June 12, Netflix officially confirmed this information and showed the debut teaser. Without a doubt, we are again waiting for a team of losers who want to win at all costs, deadly survival games and human dramas. There are also rumors that there may be even more games.

More specific

“We are focused on making it (Season 2 – Ed.) even more exciting”,

Kim Ji-young, executive producer of the series, announced.

And Hwang Dong-hyuk promised that the Frontman (Host) in charge of survival games would return (the director was even going to make him the central character). The winner of the last game, Sung Ki Hoon, will definitely return (it is possible that in the role of the warden – it was not for nothing that at the end of the first season he dyed his hair pink – the color of their costumes. Or maybe it will be just a disguise to deal with those who develop such “games”, and put an end to the bloody competition). And to keep Gi Hoon from looking boring, Hwang said he was going to make this character comedic as well.

And also – since Yong Hee's killer doll was removed from sale, then the series will appear … her boyfriend. The creators of the series either jokingly or seriously hint at a possible romantic story of these two dolls. Well, let's see.

As for the human characters, Hwang once said in an interview that he wants to talk more about the Korean police. Hwang is sure that this topic is close to everyone, because problems with law enforcement officers also concern other countries, and he himself has long wanted to cover the situation in the police in more detail … It is also possible that the second part of the series may be a kind of prequel and will tell the background of the Host, who was a police officer . Perhaps the Host's brother will reappear – police officer Hwang Joon-ho, who seemed to have been killed last season, but the body was never shown to us, so there are options.

By the way, considering that in the first season there was 455 participants of the game were killed, for the new casting the team will obviously have to work hard. So this year we are unlikely to wait for the continuation. It is possible that we will see the continuation of the sensational series only in 2024. Netflix has not yet officially announced the start of the second season of the show.

In the story, the characters end up on a remote island to take part in a knockout game. The winner receives $38 million. But there is a nuance. None of the participants were warned that in the usual children's games, death awaits the loser. As well as the one who refuses to play. There can only be one winner.
