Kung curious kayo kung ano ang magiging kwento ng season 2, heto ang ipinadalang synopsis ng Netflix sa BANDERA:
“Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun 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.”
Hindi pa riyan natatapos ang excitement dahil ang ikatlo at final season ng sikat na serye ay nakatakdang i-release sa taong 2025!
Samantala, inihayag din ni Hwang Dong-hyuk, ang creator at direktor ng sikat na serye, ang kanyang excitement para sa bagong masasaksihan ng fans.
“I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I’m back in the world of ‘Squid Game.’ It almost felt surreal. I wonder how it will feel for you to be back in Squid Game after three years as well,” saad niya sa isang statement.
Nabanggit din niya na ang upcoming seasons ay magfo-focus sa labanan sa pagitan ni Seong at ng Front Man.
“I am thrilled to see the seed that was planted in creating a new ‘Squid Game’ grow and bear fruit through the end of this story. We’ll do our best to make sure we bring you another thrill ride. I hope you’re excited for what’s to come. Thank you, always, and see you soon, everyone,” aniya pa.
