Netflix has announced the new cast for Squid Game season 2, addressing the criticism of not including female players in the initial update. During their recent virtual fan convention, Tudum, Netflix provided a glimpse into their upcoming programming. Initially, they revealed the cast for Squid Game season 2, but now they have added more names to the ensemble. Some of the newly announced cast members include Park Gyu-Young, Jo Yu-Ri, Kang Ae-Sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-Uk, Choi Seung-Hyun, Roh Jae-Won, and Won Ji-An. Although character details have not been disclosed, fans are excited about the inclusion of female characters. According to reports, production for Squid Game season 2 is expected to commence later this year.
What To Expect From Squid Game Season 2
The season 1 finale of Squid Game effectively sets the stage for a potential sequel. After coming to terms with his harrowing experience and the source of his newfound wealth, Seong Gi-Hun initially plans to leave for America and leave behind the traumatic events of the Squid Game. However, at the last moment, he decides to change course and instead seeks revenge against the organizers of the deadly competition by dismantling it.
In addition to Gi-Hun's personal journey, Squid Game season 2 will also delve into the complex story of the Hwang brothers. Netflix has already confirmed that Jun-Ho survives the shooting by the Front Man, implying that he holds valuable information about his older brother's fate. He may also play a vital role in Gi-Hun's mission to expose the individuals behind the Squid Game.
The connection between these different storylines and the upcoming Squid Game sequel remains unclear. Although Netflix suggests that all the new cast members will be players, it is possible that some of them may be peripheral characters rather than actual participants. Apart from the plot developments, fans are eagerly anticipating a fresh collection of games in Season 2 of Squid Game.
