Squid Game boss teases new and “more intriguing” season 2 games

As a fan who has been hooked since the very first episode of Squid Game, I can hardly contain my excitement for season two! Hwang Dong-hyuk’s promise of never-before-seen games that he played growing up sounds like a recipe for even more nail-biting suspense and intrigue. The return of Young-hee with her deadly game is enough to make my heart race just thinking about it.


The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has assured fans that the deadly games featured in the hit Netflix series will become even more thrilling for the second season of this popular South Korean drama.

In a unique conversation with Digital Spy, the producer hinted at fresh, unseen games that will be featured in the sequel of the suspense series.

Hwang mentioned that he had personally experienced playing these games during his childhood. He further assured us that the games would be even more captivating than their initial season, not just from a visual perspective but also in terms of the narrative.

In a recent statement, Hwang indicated that he intended to keep some details under wraps, but did reveal the comeback of the giant interactive toy Young-hee from the first season’s “Red Light, Green Light” contest in the “Squid Game”. He hinted at her return with the ominous phrase, “her deadly game”, suggesting a dark and violent atmosphere for the upcoming storyline.

In the season two preview trailer, it was shown that Young-hee was included, while Lee Jung-jae’s character, Seong Gi-hun, failed in his effort to save the fresh batch of unaware participants from a deadly fate.

Away from the games, Hwang also teased a pivotal shift in narrative direction.

As a gamer, I shared with Digital Spy my insights on the upcoming storyline for season two: “The core conflict will revolve around me, Gi-hun, and my determination to put an end to these games. However, In-ho, skillfully portrayed by Lee Byung-hun, aims to prevent me from stopping the game itself.

“So I think focusing on that main storyline is going to help you get a great viewing experience.”

In reference to Gi-hun’s motivations, Hwang also shared with The Hollywood Reporter: “My thoughts revolved around Gi-hun’s incomplete journey… and the concept of the Matrix where Neo is presented with the choice between the blue or red pill.

Instead of peacefully continuing his life, he decides to ingest the pill that reveals the truth about the Matrix, leading him into a battle to free himself from its grasp.

Hwang has also opened up about the pressure he feels concerning Squid Game season two.

He went into more detail, admitting that “the upcoming season two of Squid Game causes me the greatest apprehension.

Looking at it from this perspective, it could turn out to be the greatest achievement I’ve ever had or the most significant setback.
