"Squid Game" became Netflix's most-watched
series when it was released in September 2021. The show tells
the story of cash-strapped contestants who play childhood games
for a chance of life-changing sums of money. It inspired
countless memes and Halloween costumes and kickstarted sales of
green tracksuits.
Writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk teased a few details about
the show's second season in a letter released by Netflix.
Characters Gi-hun and The Front Man will return, he said, and
"the man in the suit with ddakji might be back."
"You'll also be introduced to Young-hee's boyfriend," he added.
Young-hee is a motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one
of the games.
Netflix did not say when the new season would be released.
