The second season of Squid Game follows Seong Gi-hun, haunted by the consequences of his victory, as he infiltrates the deadly tournament to dismantle it from within. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk also returns, facing the pressure of millions of fans. While the initial episodes feel slow, the series soon recaptures its gripping drama, satire, and exploration of human desperation for money.
The long-awaited second season of Squid Game is a story of two high-risk returns. One is that of Seong Gi-hun, season one’s winner of an underground tournament of reimagined schoolyard games that rewarded the victor with a colossal cash prize and left unsuccessful contestants for dead. Now, haunted by the human cost of his earnings, Gi-hun resolves to re-enter the competition and take it down from the inside.
While the irony of watching an anti-capitalist parable bankrolled by a media juggernaut is hard to shake off, Hwang doesn’t let up in his exploration of what ordinary people might be compelled to do for money, and why. As before, the participants are debt-ridden or desperate. And when Gi-hun warns them about the lethal nature of these games, many initially seem more worried about being in the red than about the bloodshed.
