Get ready for another year of mayhem, because Squid Game season 2 is on its way! The Netflix K-drama / thriller captivated — and horrified — viewers when it premiered on Netflix in 2021, and we are more than ready to see more.

Second seasons are hard. Great TV shows establish familiar rhythms and ensemble chemistry in their initial runs that then gets uprooted and can take time to reestablish. At least with Squid Game, the Netflix hit has the luxury of returning to a sadistic premise that structured its first batch of episodes.

Nov. 27 (UPI) -- Netflix is gearing up for the release of Squid Game Season 2. The streaming service shared a trailer for the season Tuesday featuring Lee Jung-jae. Squid Game is a South Korean survival thriller about a deadly game where players risk their lives for the chance to win millions.
