Netflix success series
“Squid Game 2” trailer shows hero from season 1
In a new trailer for the sequel to the Korean hit series "Squid Game", lead actor Lee Jung-jae can be seen in his role as gambling contestant Seong Gi-hun. Seong Gi-hun was one of 456 highly indebted people fighting for 45.6 billion South Korean won in the first season of the Netflix series.
The one-minute trailer shows him in the iconic series outfit, a green tracksuit worn by all participants in the game of death. He has even kept his contestant number from the first season: 456. Other contestants are also featured in the trailer, although their faces are not shown, only their numbers.
At the beginning of August, Netflix announced that the new season would be available on December 26 this year. The announcement video gave a first taste of the brutality that awaits in the new season.
Most successful Netflix series
Launched in 2021, the South Korean production is considered the most successful Netflix series of all time. In the first season, the contestants competed against each other in seemingly harmless children's games. But the macabre competition didn't allow for a second chance: those who didn't make it to the next round were killed immediately.
In its home country, "Squid Game" struck a chord with the zeitgeist, particularly because of its open social criticism. Growing inequality, discrimination against social minorities, extreme pressure to perform: almost all of the country's major problems are addressed in the series. Netflix has announced that the series will come to an end with a third season in 2025.
