The second season of 'Squid Game' has been released on Netflix

The main character, Son Gi-hun, returns to the arena to save others from the game after winning in the previous season.

In the new season, players compete for a prize of 45.6 billion won. The series has become the most popular in Netflix's history, with views surpassing 1.65 billion hours.

'This Time you will get a much brighter plot,' said director Dong-hyuk.

The new season features more young players, highlighting the issue of youth debt. Among the participants are a crypto influencer and a pregnant girl. The main character will face an opponent who wants to prevent him from finishing the game.

Writer and director Dong-hyuk believes this season is better than the previous one, and the budget for this season allowed him to fully realize his creative ideas for sets and special effects.

'We knew the series would be successful in Korea, but we did not expect it to capture people all over the world,' said a Netflix representative.

Dong-hyuk did not receive bonuses for the record views of the first season, but it was announced earlier that the third season will not be delayed for three years and will be released in 2025.
