The ‘Squid Game’ season 2 teaser highlighted the entry of Player 456
The teaser presents some fresh numbers indicating the new players’ identities. However, throughout the teaser player no.456 played by Lee Jung-jae has been highlighted.
Weeks earlier, Netflix officially announced the release of the much-anticipated series with a 43-second video on their social media.
The post is captioned, “The real game begins. Squid Game Season 2 is coming on December 26. The Final Season coming 2025.”
The video shows the iconic antagonist Front Man saying, “It’s been three years. Do you want to play another game?”
As for the storyline of the new and final season, the official synopsis reads, “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organisation proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”
