Squid Game 2 Star: Netflix Series Set to Return This December

During an Business Insider interview, Squid Game 2 star Lee Jung-jae (The Acolyte) apparently confirmed December 2024 as the premiere month.

It was back in February when Netflix confirmed in its "New on Netflix 2024" trailer that the second season of director, writer & executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game would be hitting our screens sometime in 2024.  With that news came a clip from Season 2 (which you can check out above) – with it being made clear to Lee Jung-jae's (The Acolyte) Gi-hun that he's about to regret his season finale decision in a big way. Up until now, we've been left to guess as to when the hit streaming series would return – though we were assuming that we would get more intel during Netflix's Upfronts presentation to the media and potential advertisers. Well, it looks like we may have already gotten our answer, thanks to an interview that Business Insider conducted with Lee. When asked via interpreter what he could share about the second season, Lee kept details pretty much locked down – but did add, "It will be released in December." Looks like we might get a definitive answer tomorrow – but for now? Here's a look back at a set of four preview images that were released back in February that make it clear that a new & even deadlier game is now underway – here's a look:
