Everyone’s favourite Korean Netflix show has been granted a second season.

That’s right, “Squid Game” will be back again to give us another season of violent and horrific entertainment.

The first season of the show premiered in September 2021 and became an immediate global sensation. Soon after the show released, it was the top-viewed series in 94 countries and is officially the most watched show on Netflix.

Of course, when it initially came out, I had to hop on the trend and give it a watch and I do admit, it was worth it. The show’s storyline consists of a large group of financially desperate individuals who compete in a series of children’s games in hopes of winning millions of dollars. Although, this summary makes the games seem harmless, there is a twist: while winning results in earning loads of money, losing could result in death.

The series made quite a splash at the 2022 Screen Actors Guild Awards by becoming the first non-English-language series and the first Korean series to receive a nomination, for cast in a drama series, actor in a drama series (Lee Jung-jae), actress in a drama series (Jung Ho-yeon) and stunt ensemble.

“Squid Game” also won three Golden Globe Awards, including best TV drama and O Yeong-su earned a supporting actor trophy. The show was also awarded three Critics Choice Awards nominations.

Ted Sarandos, Netflix’s Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer, stated that “The Squid Game universe has just begun.”

It shouldn’t be too big of a surprise that a second season is in the works as they did leave us with quite a twist to the ending of season one.

Although the buzz is exciting, we still could be potentially years away from a new season on Netflix.
