Finally! The release date for the second season of the hit series "Squid Game" has been announced. Netflix also provided some initial information about the grand finale.

This happened as part of a first teaser: the new participants in the bloody survival contest can be seen on a running track trying to successfully reach the finish line. The mysterious game master of the "Squid Games" with the black mask finally appears and says: "It's been three years. Do you want to play again?". Shortly after, the release date for the second season is shown: December 26, 2024 - just in time for Christmas season. And that's not all, as the grand finale in the form of a third season is already set to follow in 2025.

In terms of plot, the second season of "Squid Game" once again revolves around Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, who continues to pursue his plan of revenge. After three years of unsuccessfully trying to expose the mysterious organization behind the deadly games, he now decides to take part in them again. The ultimate showdown between Seong Gi-hun and his opponents will then be the subject of the final season.
