Netflix confirms release window for Squid Game season 2
Netflix has confirmed a release window for Squid Game season 2.
The South Korean series became a massive hit when it debuted in 2021, and stands as the streamer's most-watched show ever – even spawning a hit reality spin-off that aired last year.
Fans have been eagerly anticipating the follow-up season of the main show, however, and Netflix has now confirmed that it will finally be dropping this year, with production set to begin soon.

“Looking ahead, despite last year’s strikes pushing back the launch of some titles, we have a big, bold slate for 2024,” the company said in an investor letter, also confirming that Bridgerton season 3 and The Diplomat season 2 will also be released this year.
Squid Game season 2 will see the returns of original stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun and Gong Yoo, with a number of new cast additions joining the fold.
They include It's Okay Not to Be Okay's Park Gyu-young, singer Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Itaewon Class' Lee David, Sweet Home's Lee Jin-uk, rapper Choi Seung-hyun (aka TOP), Roh Jae-won, and If You Wish Upon Me's Won Ji-an.

The Squid Game franchise is also set to expand into video games, with Netflix recently confirming a game that will allow fans to "compete with other players in games from the hit series".
A second season of Squid Game: The Challenge is also on the way – and executive producers John Hay and Stephen Lambert recently teased ideas for the next set of episodes.
Squid Game and its unscripted spin-off Squid Game: The Challenge are both streaming now on Netflix. A second season of the main show will debut in 2024.
