Which Characters Will Be Returning For Season 2?
Many of Squid Game’s actors won’t return for a second season due to the show’s Battle Royale format (unless they appear in a flashback sequence). That calls for the introduction of a plethora of brand-new personalities.
In the tweet above, Dong-hyuk announced the return of Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-Jae), aka Player 456, and the game’s overseer, “The Front Man” in the tweet above (Lee Byung-hun). In addition, “The man in the suit with the ddakji might be returning.” Don’t give in to the temptation to play with him!

What Will Season 2 Be About?
Hwang Dong-hyuk discussed the sentiments he wants to express in the second season of Squid Game with The Hollywood Reporter. He said the second season wouldn’t be an answer to the many negative responses to the first. “The ideas I established in Season 1 carry over seamlessly into Season 2. I didn’t bother trying to anticipate what the audience would want to see, instead focusing on the closing scene, when Gi-hun turned away from boarding the plane.”

Dong-hyuk didn’t reveal any significant plot points, but he did hint at the season’s theme. “A sequence of events will unfold normally that will take us all the way to the season finale. I won’t spoil anything just yet, but because you already know that Seong Gi-hun ends Season 1 as a completely different person, Season 2 will focus on what this new Gi-hun will do and how his character will develop.
