Officially: "The Squid Game" returns for a second season.
It was only a matter of time before Netflix announced this, as the creators of the South Korean hit series have already admitted that they are working on the required sequel, but as soon as the streaming giant gave the production a green light and revealed a short-but-creepy teaser (accompanied by a series produced by Huang Dong - Hyuk) - You can say for sure that this is happening.
Although not much detail has been revealed about the second season so far, here's what we do know: Two characters who are sure to return are Song Ji-hoon - the hero of the first season who managed to survive all the deadly games, as well as the "Front Man" - the man Wearing the black mask that oversees the games.
Another character who will probably return, according to Dong-hyuk, is "the man in the suit" - the guy who recruits the unlucky contestants in the real world.
Also, and you should take a deep breath now, we'll have to make room in our nightmares for a whole new kind of character: get to know Shul-soo, the male equivalent, or if we quote the creator - Jung-she's friend ', who is the giant robot robot who is so Identified with the "Squid Game" (and the one who forever changed our attitude to the "Salt Fish" game).

Shul-soo's joining the series is quite desirable, as the boy and girl are well-known Korean characters, good friends who have appeared together in children's textbooks for many years.
Just like the children's games that received a violent and dark twist in the series, so too with Shul-soo and young-she.
This is all the official information provided so far about the second season of "The Squid Game", which will probably not be launched on Netflix before 2023.

Games for real
But here comes another twist in the plot: A few days after the announcement of the new season, Netflix provided another intriguing announcement: "Squid Game: The Challenge" is a ten-episode competitive reality series that is also in production stages, and defined by The company as "the biggest reality competition ever."
Mentflix has announced that 456 contestants will compete in it and compete for a $ 4.56 million prize - the largest in the history of television.
The challenges, of course, will be based on the competitions and games from the series (only without the morbid results, hopefully), but new missions can also be expected.
And that's not all: these days Netflix is looking for contestants from all over the world who are interested in participating in the show, provided they are fluent in the English language.
