Viewers can still make a lot of assumptions about the plot beats of Squid Game season 3 based on the narrative developments of season 2, even though the third season will provide its own set of unexpected turns. Although it is questionable if Squid Game season 2 lives up to the high expectations of its predecessor, it certainly offers a gritty drama in which Gi-hun, the protagonist, must contend with even more difficult obstacles. By showing how objective and harsh the central death games can be, the season ups the ante for its major protagonists with every episode.

Now, Netflix has released the trailer for Squid Game season 2. The trailer shows a new group of people being lured into the titular game, with one person being beckoned into a car by one of the show’s iconic masked guards. Talking to a microphone on a golden piggy bank, Gi-hun decides to re-enter the games. The next footage shows a series of familiar beats as new characters are introduced to the game. Questioned about why he would return to engage in this deadly tomfoolery, Gi-hun makes an extreme statement, “The players should fight the game creators.”
