(Warning! Season 1 spoilers ahead!)
The show's director Hwang Dong-hyuk reveals that Gi-hun is "a different person" entirely after the events of season 1 — not just surviving the games but also learning his mother died while he was away and his daughter moved to the States.
"In season 2, you will not be getting the foolish and clumsy or childish at times Gi-hun that you saw in the beginning," Hwang says. "You will get to see a much heavier, darker side of Gi-hun."
Lee Jung Jae, the actor who plays Gi-hun, added that due to Gi-hun's "huge amount of survivor's guilt" from being the sole survivor out of the 456 players, he's spent the past three years planning his revenge.
“He spent that time believing that these games must not continue, and he must put an end to it," Lee says. "He spent that time trying to track down those who are behind the game."
It’s going to be another binge watch by the looks of it!
Squid Game Season 2 will be available to watch on Netflix on 26th of December 2024.
