Squid Game Season 2 Release Date – Squid Game is a popular South Korean TV series available on Netflix. The show centers around a secretive competition where 456 players, all of whom are experiencing severe financial difficulties, risk their lives to play a series of deadly children’s games with the hope of winning a prize of ₩45.6 billion. The name of the show is derived from a Korean children’s game that shares the same name.
The creator of the show, Hwang Dong-hyuk, came up with the idea based on his financial struggles, as well as the class divide and capitalist system prevalent in South Korea. Although he first wrote the story in 2009, Hwang struggled to find a production company to support his idea until Netflix showed interest in 2019, as part of their effort to expand their foreign programming offerings.
Squid Game was released on September 17th, 2021, and became Netflix’s most-watched series in 94 countries, attracting more than 142 million member households and 1.65 billion viewing hours in four weeks. It received several awards, including the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards. The first season also received 14 Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including for Outstanding Drama Series, and Lee Jung-Jae won the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series.
In June 2022, Netflix officially announced the second season of Squid Game, alongside a reality competition series titled Squid Game: The Challenge. Production for the second season began in July 2023, and the show is expected to air in 2024.
