Netflix's mega-hit series, Squid Game, is set to make a triumphant return this year, and the world is buzzing with anticipation. First Look Images from Season 2 unveil enticing glimpses of what's to come, furthering fan excitement over a show that remains Netflix's most popular series more than two years after its release.

Visionary director Hwang Dong-hyuk returns to helm the global juggernaut with a dream ensemble cast by his side. Following his historic win at the 74th Primetime Emmys(R) as the first Asian to win "Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series," Hwang resumes his role as director, writer, and producer.

A heart-pounding clip from Season 2 also debuted in the "Next on Netflix" trailer this morning, showing Gi-hun making a critical decision. Portrayed by Lee Jung-jae, who won "Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series" at the 74th Primetime Emmys(R), Gi-hun abandons his US plans after a mysterious call and embarks on a chase with a motive.

The new season will also welcome other beloved characters back like Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) and Recruiter (Gong Yoo). Adding to the intrigue, a new character played by Park Gyu-young makes her debut, sparking curiosity about the new character.
