*SPOILERS ALERT* We’re just a few months away from the hotly anticipated drop of Squid Game 2. The OG season of Squid Game became a global phenomenon upon its release, and since then, fans have been eager to know what’s next for Seong Gi Hun, aka Player 456 (Lee Jung Jae). According to the official synopsis, Season 2 will take place three years after Gi Hun has won Squid Game.
Gi Hun is fiercely determined to end the deadly games by confronting the people behind them. However, to do so, he has to re-enter the game again. Alongside Lee Jung Jae, Lee Byung Hun and Gong Yoo will have more prominent roles as the Front Man and salesman, while Wi Ha Joon returns as Hwang Jun Ho in Squid Game 2. New cast members joining the second season include ZE: A member Im Siwan, Kang Ha Neul, Park Gyu Young, Lee Jin Uk, Park Sung Hoon and Jo Yu Ri, among others. On Netflix, Squid Game 2 will be released on December 26, 2024. We’ve decoded several Squid Game 2 theories ahead of its release, which we believe will most likely come true…
Here are 5 Squid Game 2 theories that will most likely come true:
1. Hwang Jun Ho is still alive
At the end of Squid Game Season 1, Hwang Jun Ho is shocked to know that his missing elder brother, Hwang In Ho, is actually the Front Man, the overseer of the Squid Game. In Ho shoots his younger sibling as Jun Ho falls off a cliff. Unlike most deaths in Squid Game, we don’t see a dead body, which could only mean one thing: Hwang Jun Ho is very much alive. Then there’s also the fact that Wi Ha Joon is a confirmed cast member for Squid Game 2, adding more fuel to the fire. Whether he joins Gi Hun’s fight to take down his brother or betrays Gi Hun for his family, we’ll have to wait and watch.
2. Hwang In Ho’s Front Man backstory is going to be heartbreaking
