After a three year-long wait, “Squid Game” is finally back.
The Korean-language Netflix series takes place mostly within the confines of a killing game, in which the economically disadvantaged play children’s games for money. To participate, they wager their lives.
The show is one of Netflix’s biggest hits, prompting the streamer to invest not only in a second and third season from creator Hwang Dong-hyuk, but also in in-person experiences, a reality series, and a video game.
“Squid Game” season two stars Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun, the winner of the games on season one. Unfortunately, the nature of the show means that most characters from season one like Sae-byeok (Jung Ho-yeon) and Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo) aren’t back in season two. While there are a few familiar faces, the majority of the cast are new.
