Netflix has unveiled a glimpse into the much-anticipated Squid Game Season 2, releasing character posters and a video featuring cast members discussing their roles. The series, which captivated global audiences, returns with high stakes, new faces, and familiar tensions.
Lee Jung Jae reprises his role as Seong Gi Hun, who, according to the actor, is driven by “a strong sense of purpose to make the chance.” He elaborated, “I think that became the biggest motivation for the transformation Gi Hun went through compared to season 1.” Meanwhile, Lee Byung Hun as the enigmatic Front Man is set on shattering Gi Hun’s resolve, stating, “Front Man’s main goal, I think, is to shatter the conviction Gi Hun holds.”
Wi Ha Jun‘s Jun Ho, a police officer searching for his brother, the Front Man, adds to the tension. “Because he loved and looked up to his brother so much, he just can’t let go,” Wi said, hinting at their looming confrontation.
Yim Si Wan plays Myung Gi, a disgraced YouTuber entangled in a cryptocurrency scam that cost him and his followers massive losses. On the run, he joins the deadly game. Jo Yu Ri portrays Jun Hee, who encounters Myung Ki, her ex-boyfriend who once gave her bad investment advice, inside the game.
Yang Dong Geun and Kang Ae Sim star as Yong Sik and Geum Ja, a mother-and-son duo. To Yong Sik, his mother is his “safety net, a godsend,” while to Geum Ja, her son “means the world to her.”
Kang Ha Neul introduced Dae Ho, saying, “He’s got this over-the-top masculinity and a survival strategy that makes him come across as tough, but he’s also a bit of a friendly trickster, someone who can connect with others in his own sly way.” Park Sung Hoon steps into the role of Hyun Joo, a transgender woman fighting for money for her surgery. “She shows incredible strength, decisiveness, and natural leadership,” he explained.
Lee Jin Wook plays Gyeong Seok, a desperate father entering the game to save his daughter, who has leukemia. Park Gyu Young‘s character, No Eul, is a grieving mother with no will to live except to find her child she left in North Korea.
The cast also includes Chae Kook Hee as Seon Nyeo, a shaman whose cryptic prophecies and curses stir unease among the contestants. Other notable roles include T.O.P as Thanos, a rapper and hip-hop survival show runner-up; Lee David as the timid and fearful Min Soo; No Jae Won as Nam Gyu, Thanos’s follower; and Won Ji An as Semi, a spirited contestant who supports Min Soo.
The global phenomenon returns to Netflix on December 26.
