When Does Squid Game Season 2 Start? Netflix Release Date

What Is Squid Game About?

The tagline "45.6 Billion Is Child's Play" makes a powerful first impression alongside the imagery of the shapes that are used in the 'squid game,' the fallen man in the green tracksuit, the man in pink dragging him away, and the large box with the pink ribbon. The title is a reference to a simple yet physical and aggressive children's game played in neighborhood alleyways. How will this symbol of childhood fun drive the adult players into peril? Every piece of new information provides more tantalizing hints.

Season 2 Update

·Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game premiered in 2021 and quickly became Netflix’s most popular series ever.

The series made Emmy history with first-ever wins for a non-English language series. Following this success, Netflix debuted Squid Game: The Challenge, the Emmy nominated and BAFTA winning reality series that also topped the Netflix Global Top 10. The franchise continues to expand with Squid Game: The Experience, a touring activation where fans can play series-inspired games; Squid Game: Virtuals, a Webby-winning VR adventure; and in 2024, a multiplayer video game, Squid Game: Unleashed.
