Much like the first one, Squid Game season 2 was a huge success worldwide. Becoming the second-most-watched non-English language TV series ever, the show garnered 173 million views since its launch.
Set three years after the event of season 1, when Seong Gi-hun won ₩45.6 billion, winning all the brutal games. Years have passed, but Swong Gi is not out of the trauma and is now on a mission to take revenge on the frontman and end this game once and for all.
With his new wealth, he plots revenge. Unfortunately, he ends up playing in the tournament.
With the help of his new wealth, he plots revenge to find the creators of this deadly game. Season 2 ended with a major cliffhanger when Swong Gi got caught when his planned rebellion to capture the Front Man failed.
Apart from Lee Jung-Jae, Hwang Jun-Ho reprises his role as the undercover police officer who is on a search to find the island. Lee Byung-hun returns as the mysterious Front Man, alongside a bunch of new stars such as Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, and Park Sung-hoon.
