Squid Game 2 Gets Brutal Key Art Poster; Special Teaser Drops Thursday

Director, writer, and EP Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game 2 gets a twisted poster for Geeked Week - with a special teaser dropping on Thursday.

On December 26th, the "Game" begins again. When director, writer & executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game 2 hits Netflix screens later this year, it's been three years since "Player 456" won the game – yet he remains determined to find the people behind it and put an end to their vicious sport once and for all. Using his fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) 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 organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined. To end the game, he needs to re-enter it. With this being Netflix's Geeked Week, we knew that some big things would be heading our way – and we got one of them earlier today. Waiting for you below is the new – and brutal – key art poster for the second season. But that's not all, because the poster also served a purpose aside from being awesome – it was to announce that a special teaser drop on Thursday.
