It's been a long time since Seong Gi-Hun declared his return to Squid Game season 2. With the series returning on Netflix just in time for the holidays, fans are convinced that Squid Game season 2 will mark player 456's rise as the "Mockingjay" of the show.
Squid Game Season 2 Trailer Brings Back Player 456 For Revenge
Seong Gi-Hun (played by Lee Jung-Jae) declared his revenge by turning away from the airport the minute he realized the Squid Game would not stop until someone stood up to them.
Gi-Hun might be able to save future players from the anguish he suffered, carrying the money all 456 players earned in the first season.
In this case, fans surmised this is the equivalent of the revolution Katniss Everdeen led in The Hunger Games franchise as the "Mockingjay" behind the strings. Will Gi-Hun truly earn the title and live up to the role he set to pursue himself?
The timeline of Squid Game season 2 follows player 456 three years after winning the last game, determined to put a stop to it.
He had used his fortune to search for the so-called game masters and once he needs to re-enter it, his biggest challenge means getting out of it alive on his own once again.
While there is no official trailer for the second season yet, there is a promise that the games will be "deadlier" than what was shown in the first season, meaning Gi-Hun is facing new and tougher challengers who may or may not be on his side as much as the friends he made in the previous season.
It is worth mentioning that ahead of Squid Game season 2's release on the streamer, a season 3 is already in order coming to Netflix sometime in 2025, but with "shorter" episodes. The third season will officially close down the Squid Game franchise and end the story.
