The wait is finally over for the fans of the globally popular Korean drama Squid Game Season 2 of the hit series premiered on Netflix on December 26, 2024. The season is already stirring up a storm among global audiences, including Indian fans.
This season takes audiences back to high-stakes survival games following the life of Seong Gi-hun played by Lee Jung-jae, who returned after narrowly surviving the games in Season 1 for a personal motive to reveal and expose an organization with sinister designs in the high-stakes, life-and-death game he was just lucky enough to survive in Season 1. His transformation from an implored survivor of the survival games into a strong fighter for what is wrong forms the gist of the new season.
Season 2, however, is more mellow and not so graphic in terms of violence as it now concentrates on the character and storytelling aspects. According to critics, the tone is much changed, as one on-screen death appears during the premiere episode, quite unlike its predecessor’s mass killings.
The season also brings back some familiar faces, such as Wi Ha-joon playing detective Hwang Jun-ho and Lee Byung-hun as the mysterious Front Man. New characters enter the cast, including actors Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, and Park Sung-hoon, who add more layers and intrigue to the story.
With seven episodes lasting between 33 to 76 minutes, Season 2 serves as a bridge to the much-anticipated final season, slated for release in 2025. Indian viewers can stream the series on Netflix in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, making it accessible to a broader audience.
Whether you were one of the fans rewatching it or an entirely new viewer, Netflix has managed to bring Squid Game Season 2 filled with suspense, drama, and emotional depth, a must-watch series that cannot be avoided.
