Release Date, Spoilers, Cast, Trailer And Plot

If you binge-watched Netflix’s Squid Game and are still suffering from nightmares, you might want to prepare yourself for some more restless nights.

Since the dystopian thriller series hit our screens in September 2021 it became Netflix’s number one ‘mustsee’ show across 90 countries and the streaming platform’s most successful non-english show. It soon also became Netflix’s biggest ever series launch (surpassing Bridgerton’s record earlier last year), and the hashtag #squidgame had over 27.5 billion (yes, billion) views on Tiktok in weeks.

Fans of Squid Game have been hooked by the show’s disturbing plot, which sees 465 people (all with serious debt issues) compete in six children’s games over six days to win £28 million ($38 million). The losers? Well, the majority of the show’s characters suffer pretty gory deaths, but not before we’ve all become obsessed with them and theories about that open ending.

Over Halloween 2021 weekend, ‘Squid Game baby costumes’ became the number one term on Google’s toptrending rankings, three primary schools New York ended up banning Halloween costumes inspired by the show and Netflix commissioned an huge replica of the unsettling ‘Red Light, Green Light’ doll from episode one to loom over Sydney, Australia for All Hallows’ Eve. Talk about creepy, right?

Months later Youtube star Mrbeast created a real-life version of the game and invited 456 random players to take part in a tournament offering a £342,000 ($456,000) cash prize for the winner. Fortunately, none of the Youtuber’s players were hurt during the game and, in fact, they received a certain amount of money for taking part.

Has Squid Game season two been confirmed?

Yes, it's official - season two is on the way.

In June 2022, a post shared via the show's official Twitter page read: 'On your marks. Get set. Greenlight. Squid Game continues, only on Netflix.

Has filming started for Squid Game season two?

Not yet, but it will do soon. Following months of silence regarding details of Squid Game season two, the show's protagonist actor Lee Jung-jae confirmed that filming has not yet begun – but thankfully, he did provide a rough timeline.

Per reports from allkpop.com, Jung-jae said: 'Squid Game 2 will begin filming in the summer and the filming will likely last for about 10 months. We were working on season 1 for about 10 months as well, but that was with delays caused by COVID-19. But seeing as season 2 will be bigger in scale, it will probably take longer to complete.'
