Squid Game Season 2 is one of the most anticipated Netflix shows. The entire cast for the upcoming season has been revealed.

Squid Game is one of the most-watched shows on Netflix and for a good reason. The show follows the story of a series of unlikable characters as they fight tooth and nail to survive a deadly game. The show received nominations for the Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Drama Series, won by Lee Jung-Jae.

At the end of the show, the main character decides to return to the games, seemingly looking for revenge.
