Season 2 of Netflix’s Squid Game is coming in 2024. Here’s everything we know about what happens in Squid Game 2, the new games, and more.
You know about Squid Game. Even if you didn’t watch it, you heard of it — possibly from friends who couldn’t stop talking about it, but also just from existing in the world. It was inescapable; it quickly became one of Netflix’s most-watched series around the world, garnering some 1.65 billion viewing hours in its first 28 days, according to data from the streamer. Zedd did a remix with the Squid Game theme; red light green light got a bump, as did ppogi; and Netflix even did an ill-advised (and ultimately boring) reality show based on the dystopian games of the original.
Which is all to say: Of course there was going to be a Squid Game season 2, and a season 3. Here’s everything we know about it, including the recently announced release date for the second season (and the tease for the third).
