Netflix's Squid Game proved to be very popular (it's actually gone on to become the streamer's most successful show of all time), so it didn't exactly come as a major surprise when creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that a second season of the harrowing South Korean dystopic drama was in development.
Now, Netflix (via SFF Gazette) has made it official with a brief teaser promo and message from Dong-Hyuk which gives fans a (slightly) better idea of what to expect from the continuing story.
The video features sinister "red light, green light" doll Cheol-su, whose "boyfriend" will reportedly be introduced in season 2! It's also been confirmed that both Gi-hun and The Front Man will return (they were the only main characters to survive, after all).
The first season ended with Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) emerging as the only survivor of the lethal games, which saw 456 contestants in various degrees of severe financial trouble put their lives on the line for the chance of winning a ₩45.6 billion (roughly €30m) prize.
In the final episode, Gi-hun decides not to travel to America to reunite with his family, and it's strongly implied that he intends to track down and punish those responsible for planning the games.
