Let the games begin… again! Netflix is giving everyone a Halloween treat by unveiling a Squid Game Season 2 teaser trailer that pulls us back into a deadly game filled with greed, deception, and scathing social commentary. The new video was unveiled to thousands of fans at Lucca Comics & Games, Europe’s biggest Comic Con, and offers a glimpse at a very different Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae). His always-optimistic disposition has been replaced with a hardened demeanor following the horrors of the previous games. Despite the lasting emotional scars, Gi-hun is on a desperate mission to expose the deadly truth of the competition. But will his fellow players heed his warnings — or blaze their own dangerous path?

Today’s Squid Games Season 2 teaser confirms that one benevolent force controls the competition, the mysterious Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun. His actual motivations remain a mystery. Still, he isn’t afraid to kill with abandon as contestants fight for survival and a chance to emerge victorious with an oversized piggy bank filled with cash.

Squid Game Season 2 presents a wrinkle to the original formula. Part of the new rules involve contestants voting on whether to continue the game at their peril or walk away with the prize split among them. We know how dangerous the Squid Games are, but do you expect everyone to walk away with a fraction of what they could win? In this economy?

Here’s the official synopsis for Squid Game Season 2 courtesy of Netflix:

“Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 gave up going to the States and comes back with a new resolution in his mind,” reads the official Season 2 synopsis. “Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.”

It’s confirmed that some familiar faces will return to the Squid Game cast, including Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo. Impeccable newcomers Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an will all appear in Squid Game Season 2 as an ensemble of colorful new characters.
