‘Squid Game‘ emerges as one of the most celebrated Korean shows on a global scale. The Netflix show delved into a dystopian plot with a game that promises a heavy cash prize but needs the participant to fight for his life with other participants within an enclosed area, as per the rules. The place is guarded and run by people in masks.
Though eerie, the plot seems to bring psychology in play as the players eventually start enjoying the thrill they get from inching closer to being the winner. The climax is mind blowing — offering something a viewer may never expect — which is perhaps what made the show an instant hit when its first season aired in 2021. The showmakers have now ended the wait and revealed the details of the release of the second season of the show.

What We Know So Far About ‘Squid Game’ Narrative
The ending of ‘Squid Game’ season 1 showed that the lead character Gi-hun is determined to end the brutal games and expose the corrupt people behind them. However, he chooses not to board his plane, adding a twist to the narrative.
With the Games’ creator presumably dead, the Front Man and the recruiter remain at large, along with other wealthy characters from around the world involved in the deadly competition. The return of Jun-ho hints at another confrontation with the Front Man, where he might try to find out how he came to oversee the Games.
Gi-hun’s quest for justice is expected to intensify, possibly leading to a new series of Games. As the release date for ‘Squid Game’ season 2 approaches, more details will be unveiled. Until then, fans can revisit the first season of the Korean hit drama on Netflix.
