Lee Jong-jae said that creating the second season was a big challenge. "I did feel a bit of a pressure, but I also, just like Director Hwang, wanted to use that as a positive driver," he said. This particular season has already been nominated for a Golden Globe Award in the Best Drama Series category.

Cast

Lee Jong-jae, Lee Byung-hun (Frontman) and Wi Ha-joon (Detective Hwang Jun-ho) are back too. Among the newcomers are Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, and many others. Their characters promise to add intrigue to the plot.

The director confirmed that the third season, which is scheduled for 2025, will be the final one in this story. He promises a grand finale that will cement the success of Squid Game as one of the best dramas of our time.

Squid Game continues to generate interest not only because of its fascinating plot, but also because of its deep social implications.
