The first season of 'Squid Game' was bigger than even its creators could have anticipated. The series raised unsettling questions about humanity, morality, and the lengths people will go to for survival. In the first season's chilling finale, Gi-hun vowed to take on the shadowy organisation behind the games.
Season 2 promises to delve even deeper into this dark, twisted world. The stakes are higher, the games more dangerous, and the players more desperate. Gi-hun embarks on a mission to expose the games’ architects, uncovering secrets that could shake the foundations of society.
Along the way, new characters are introduced - each with their own haunting motivations for joining. Alliances are tested, betrayals sting sharper, and survival becomes an even more intricate dance of wit, strength and sacrifice.
