Squid Game Season 2 – Release Window, Cast, Director And More Info

Emmy-winning star Lee Jung-jae is set to return for “Squid Game” season 2 as loser turned big winner Gi-hun, who won the Squid Game last season when his opponent killed himself. As mentioned, season 1 stars Wi Ha-joon and Lee Byung-hun are returning, playing an undercover detective and the brother he was hunting down — who is now the games’ overseer, Front Man. Though plenty of characters from the show’s first go-round were killed in the titular games, Gong Yoo’s mysterious recruiter will also be back for the new season.

Additionally, a ton of new castmates have joined the show, and with an ensemble of this size, it seems likely that the new season will either portray the next edition of the games or revisit past winners. According to Tudum, new castmates include actor and ZE:A band member Yim Si-wan, pop star Jo Yu-ri, rapper Choi Seung-hyun, “Forgotten” actor Kang Ha-neul, “It’s Okay To Not Be Okay” actress Park Gyu-young, and “Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum” star Park Sung-hoon. Additionally, the second season will feature Yang Dong-geun (“Yaksha: Ruthless Operations”), Lee David (“Poetry”), Roh Jae-won (“Daily Dose of Sunshine”), Kang Ae-sim (“Bad and Crazy”), Lee Jin-uk (“Sweet Home”), and Won Ji-an (“Heartbeat”).
