Kim and his second-in-command, Choi Woo-seok, eventually locate the recruiter and watch him offer vagrants bread or a lottery ticket; most choose the ticket, and the recruiter destroys the rejected bread in front of them. The recruiter abducts Kim and Woo-seok and forces them to play a deadly game of rock paper scissors combined with Russian roulette, resulting in Kim's death. Jun-ho investigates Gi-hun and locates his operational base.

The first game is Red Light, Green Light; Gi-hun warns the players that losing will result in death, though many dismiss him. Despite the chaos, Gi-hun's precautions help reduce casualties. An intoxicated Player 230, a rapper known by Thanos, pushes others to eliminate them. Gi-hun and Player 120 attempt to save an eliminated player who was only non-fatally shot, but No-eul shoots the player dead. After the game, Gi-hun urges the players to vote the game's end and reveals he is the sole winner of a previous iteration.

Junho attempts to secure police assistance but is unsuccessful. Kim Jun-hee, Myung-gi's pregnant ex-girlfriend and Player 222, reveals herself to him. To Gi-hun's surprise, the second game requires players to form teams of five for a six-legged pentathlon consisting of five children's games: ddakji, biseokchigi, gong-gi, jegi, and spinning top, to be completed under a five-minute time limit.

During the following vote, Player 001 seems to encourage the players to vote against continuing the game, but a larger majority opts to proceed, believing the prize pool remains too small. Gi-hun confides in Jung-bae about his growing uncertainty in rescuing everyone. Meanwhile, Jun-ho and Woo-seok, now with an expanded mercenary team, begin searching for the island.

During the vote, several players, including Player 125—who has been subservient to Thanos and Nam-gyu—change their votes to leave. The deciding vote falls again to Player 001, resulting in a tie; the players are given a day before re-voting. In the bathroom, Thanos and Nam-gyu pressure Player 125, named Min-su, into changing his vote to continue, but Myung-gi and other "X" players intervene to defend him.

Development

[edit]
Series creator and director Hwang Dong-hyuk

In late October 2021, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk stated he was in discussions with Netflix regarding a second season.[13] He further stated in December 2021 that he was also discussing a third season with Netflix.[14] Hwang wanted to produce another film first, as well as secure a contract with Netflix to release additional films he may create alongside further Squid Game seasons, so as to avoid becoming known only for Squid Game.[13] Hwang confirmed that he had begun conceptualization work on a second season during a press event in November 2021, with plans to bring back Lee Jung-jae to reprise his role of Gi-hun.[15] Netflix stated in response to Hwang's comments that they had not yet officially greenlit a second season, but were in discussions with Hwang towards one.[16] During an earnings call in January 2022, Netflix's Sarandos said when asked about a second season "Absolutely...the Squid Game universe has just begun."[17][18][19] Hwang said in April 2022 that he presently was working on Killing Old People Club, an adaption of a work called "Pape Satan Aleppe: Chronicles of a Liquid Society" by Umberto Eco, and anticipated that the second season of Squid Game would be completed and broadcast by 2024.[20] Netflix confirmed that the second season was greenlit in June 2022.[21][22]

Writing

[edit]

Due to the stress of writing and producing the first series of nine episodes himself, Hwang initially had no immediate plans to write a second season to Squid Game, and did not have well-developed plans for a follow-up story and said that if he were to write one, he would likely need a staff of writers and directors to help him.[23] However, with the immense popularity of the show, Hwang later opined about the possibility of a second season in 2021, telling CNN, "There's nothing confirmed at the moment, but so many people are enthusiastic that I'm really contemplating it."[24] Hwang also said in an interview with The Times that a second season may focus more on the story of the Front Man as well as incorporating more about the police: "I think the issue with police officers is not just an issue in Korea. I see it on the global news that the police force can be very late in acting on things—there are more victims or a situation gets worse because of them not acting fast enough. This was an issue that I wanted to raise."[25] He added that he also wanted to explore the relationship between the cryptic Front Man and his policeman brother Hwang Jun-ho, as well as the background of the salesman character (portrayed by Gong Yoo).[26] Speaking about the games that appear in the season, Hwang said "They are once again simple children's games that a lot of kids in Korea grew up playing. I remember being on set and being reminded of my childhood days" but he also wanted to open up the games to be more universally recognized this time "In many different countries around the world, there will be some kind of version similar to these games that you probably have played as a child,...They're going to be both very easy to understand and play, and very fun."[27]

Casting

[edit]
Director Hwang requested that actors Gong Yoo (left) and Lee Byung-hun (right), with whom he had previously worked, appear as the recruiter and the Front Man, respectively, in Squid Game.

In April 2022, Hwang confirmed that the characters of Gi-hun and the Front Man would return for the second season.[28][21] During Netflix's Tudum: A Global Fan Event in June 2023, Lee Jung-jae was confirmed to reprise his role alongside Lee Byung-hun, Gong Yoo and Wi Ha-joon. On June 29, Netflix released more info on the new season's cast, which includes Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, Im Si-wan, Yang Dong-geun, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-wook, Won Ji-an, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-shim, Choi Seung-hyun, Lee David, and Roh Jae-won.[29][4][2]

Prior to release, the show attracted controversy for casting male actor Park Sung-hoon to play the transgender woman character Hyun-Ju, due to some wanting a trans person to authentically portray their experiences. Some argued in response to these criticisms that trying to put a trans person in the spotlight in South Korea was not reasonable. People also opined that having a trans character in a South Korean series at all is an important step in representation.[30][31] On December 18, 2024 during press day for Squid Game 2, director and creator Hwang Dong-hyuk spoke to a group of journalists, about why he wanted to include a trans character this time around:

“The people who come to join the games in Squid Game are usually marginalized or neglected from society, and not just financially speaking, but people who would belong to marginalized groups. In season one, the representative character for that was Ali, who was a foreigner working in Korea, which is one of the most representative minority groups in Korea. Currently today, unfortunately, in the Korean society the gender minority is a group that is not as accepted widely within society. I wanted to create a character that would represent that. Acceptance of trans people has gotten better recently, but it’s still not where it needs to be. In Korea, when you are a gender minority, it is not as widely accepted yet, unfortunately, and you are still seen to be very much out of the norm. And so by creating a character like Hyun-ju, through her choices, her actions, and the way she carries herself in the game, I hope that that could raise awareness of these issues that we face today.”[32]

Costume, set design, and filming

[edit]

Principal photography for the second season was scheduled to start in July 2023 and was expected to last for "at least 10 months".[33] On July 10, staff members of the production faced a controversy involving allegations of mistreatment towards citizens during filming at Incheon Airport. The production company issued an official apology on the matter.[34] Filming was reportedly underway in August 2023.[35] Filming wrapped in July 2024 and was filmed back-to-back along with the third season.[36]

Music

[edit]
Jung Jae-il composed the score for the season.

Composer Jung Jae-il returned to score the second season, with the soundtrack album being released on December 27, 2024, through Netflix Music.[37] Jung confirmed his involvement in 2023, telling the BBC the second season would retain some elements from the score to the first season but have a "more bizarre and unique sound".[38] The second season also features the aria "Nessun dorma" from Giacomo Puccini's Turandot and "Time to Say Goodbye" by Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli.[39]

Marketing

[edit]

During Netflix Geeked Week in September 2024, a poster and a teaser for the season were released.[40][41]

On December 19, 2024, a rave party related to the season was held in London.[42] Famous streamer Ibai Llanos organized his own version of Squid Game with KFC.[43] Filipino journalist MJ Marfori attended the three-day event for the season and also interviewed Lee Jung-jae.[44]

Reception

[edit]

The second season received positive reviews. On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 86% of 44 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10.[45] On Metacritic, the second season has a weighted average score of 61 out of 100 based on 23 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". [46]

Laura Martin from the BBC gave the season 4 stars out of 5 and said it rivalled the production quality of the first season.[47] Annabel Nugent from The Independent also gave the season 4 stars out of 5 and said while it wasn't as shocking as the first season, it was no captivating in its violence.[48] Rebecca Nicholson from The Guardian gave the season a less positive review due to issues she found with its plot development and pacing and rated it 3 stars out of 5.[49] Kelly Lawler from USA Today gave the season 2 stars out of 4, calling the plot outlandish and the end unsatisfying.[50]

Release

[edit]

The season was released on December 26, 2024.[1]
