After becoming the biggest Netflix series ever in a short amount of time last year, it’s not a shock that “Squid Game” was quickly renewed by the streaming service for another season. But even though the renewal was already pretty much confirmed, Netflix decided to go the extra step and make it official with a quick little Season 2 teaser.
Don’t get too excited though. The “Squid Game” Season 2 teaser is more of just a short little motion poster to show that the new episodes are coming… eventually. No, there’s no official release date. There’s not even confirmation about what year that’ll happen. We have to assume 2023, but creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has previously talked about taking his time in crafting the story for Season 2.
Accompanying the short “teaser” is a letter written by Hwang to fans of the series, talking about what we might expect from the upcoming second installment of “Squid Game.”
“It took 12 years to bring the first season of ‘Squid Game’ to life last year. But it took 12 days for ‘Squid Game’ to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” said Hwang. “As the writer, director and producer of ‘Squid Game,’ a huge shout out to fans around the world. Thank you for watching and loving our show.”

He continued, “And now, Gi-hun returns. The Front Man returns. Season 2 is coming. “The man in the suit with ddakji might be back. You’ll also be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su… Join us once more for a whole new round.”
For those that somehow missed “Squid Game” during the insane release last year, the series follows a group of people desperate for money, who all decide to join a dangerous game where they will compete against each other for a huge cash prize. That is, if they can survive.
As mentioned, a release date for “Squid Game” Season 2 has yet to be announced. You can watch the teaser below:
