The much-anticipated teaser for Squid Game Season 2 has finally dropped, leaving fans on edge with the chilling line: "The game isn't over yet". The global success of Season 1 and its shocking cliffhanger, Season 2 promises even higher stakes, fueling excitement about what’s next in the deadly games.
Recently, Netflix released a fun video featuring the main cast debunking popular fan theories about Season 2. While it was entertaining, the cast remained tight-lipped, offering no spoilers or hints about the sequel.
On September 20, Netflix finally released the first official teaser, ominously titled "The game will not stop, are you ready...?" The teaser hints at even more intense challenges and raises the burning question: Will Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae) really be able to bring down this deadly game?
Here’s our theory on how the sequel could unfold based on the spoilers and teaser we were offered. Do scroll down till the end to find out what more to expect from Squid Game 2.
1. Will Gi-Hun Return as a Player or the Front Man?
A common theory circulating among fans is that Seong Gi Hun will rejoin the games in Season 2. However, the big question is: will he return as the new Front Man? The teaser shows Gi Hun waking up in a player’s cell with the same number, 456, which suggests he may be returning as a contestant rather than a mastermind. This detail leaves fans questioning how Gi Hun will navigate the games once again—could his strategy be different this time?
2. A Sibling Showdown: Front Man’s Role Reversal
Another intriguing possibility is that Hwang In Ho (Lee Byung Hun Our Blues 2022), the Front Man, and his brother Hwang Jun Ho (Wi Ha Joon The Midnight Romance in Hagwon 2024), the detective, will swap roles in Season 2. Despite being shot, Jun Ho may have survived, kept alive by his brother for an unknown purpose. Could this twist lead to a power struggle between the brothers, with Jun Ho possibly becoming the new Front Man? This could shake the foundation of the games and bring a new twist to the sequel.
3. Ddakji Card Colors: A Key to the Game’s Secrets!
One viral theory involves the Ddakji cards used to recruit participants. Fans believe that the color of the card determines whether someone becomes a player or a guard. Gi Hun chose the blue card and ended up as a contestant. But in the teaser, we see him as a player again. Could this theory hold any weight, or will it be debunked in Season 2?
4. Behind the Masks: A Focus on Guards and Their Stories
The teaser doesn’t reveal much about the new games, which suggests Season 2 may focus more on the backstories of key characters—especially the guards. With new cast members like Yim Si Wan and Kang Ha Neul, we might finally learn how the guards ended up in their roles. Alternatively, the games could take a backseat to the bigger question: can Gi Hun destroy the system from the inside?
5. Gong Yoo’s Mysterious Role
While the teaser leaves us guessing about the new cast, one name stands out — Gong Yoo. His brief yet significant role in Season 1 left a lasting impact, and fans are eager to see what part he’ll play in the upcoming season. We predict that Gong Yoo’s character will introduce a massive twist, one that could change the game’s narrative and shock viewers.
6. Traditional Korean Games to Take the Spotlight
Squid Game Season 2 is expected to introduce new, even more thrilling challenges to avoid repetitive gameplay and keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Actor Lee Bo Hyun hinted that the sequel will feature several traditional Korean games, bringing a fresh yet culturally rich twist to the deadly competition.
Mark your calendars, as the deadly games continue on December 26, 2024 — get ready for another thrilling ride! If you have your theory about Squid Game Season 2, please share it with us in the comments section below!
