Months after series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed that a season two of Squid Game is in the works, Netflix has officially announced that production may start soon in a chilling teaser.
“And now, Gi-hun returns,” Hwang said in a letter to fans. “The Front Man returns. Season 2 is coming.”
“The man in the suit with ddakji might be back,” he wrote, referring to the mysterious salesman who recruits desperate players to the game show.
The letter also said viewers will be introduced to Cheol-su, the “boyfriend” of the show’s infamous animatronic doll from the Red Light-Green Light game, Young-hee.
Squid Game quickly became Netflix’s most-watched show or film ever during its release. The streamer revealed that viewers around the world watched 1.6 billion hours-worth of the Korean series’ first season.
