In the Squid Game's second season, four more participants will join the fight.

At its Tudum event on Saturday in Brazil, Netflix announced the addition of four more cast members for "Squid Game" Season 2: Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Sung-hoon, and Yang Dong-guen.

The four new performers join Season 1 mainstays Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo in the cast.

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk stated this information at a Netflix press conference in September 2022. The second season is scheduled to debut on the streaming service in 2024. Season 2 will begin filming the next year (in 2023), and it will be made available the year after that, according to Hwang.

The Korean drama's second season will have high expectations. With 1.65 billion hours of viewing in just 28 days, "Squid Game" became a Netflix blockbuster. The "Squid Game" cast and crew received unprecedented Emmy victories in the wake of the record-breaking viewership. Six awards were given to the series, which had 14 nominations. These were excellent directing, production design, special visual effects, stunt performance, actress in a guest role for Lee You-mi, and lead actor for Lee Jung-jae, who also made history by being the first Asian actor to ever win in the category.

At the Tudum event, Netflix also revealed the Season 2 cast and revealed that the contentious unscripted competition spinoff "Squid Game: The Challenge" will debut in November. This declaration comes in response to accusations by Variety that the new competition series was "inhumane," with one competitor alleging that "the conditions were absolutely inhumane and had nothing to do with the game."
