Now, with days to go until season 2 is released, it’s been revealed that a character who barely featured in the first season is going to play a pivotal role in the new episodes. Metro recently had the chance with other media to speak to the creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, about what fans can expect when the South Korean dystopian series finally returns.

Season two will see the lead character Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) enter the lethal game again after previously winning ₩45.6billion (£24.9million) as the sole survivor. This time around, he has one goal – to seek revenge for those who died when he previously participated and to put an end to the game once and for all.

However, a spanner is thrown in the works when Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan), a close friend of Gi-hun’s from the outside world, also joins the game as a player. As Dong-hyuk explained, if viewers were to rewatch the first season of Squid Game, it would be worth taking note of Jung-bae’s minor role before he comes back in season two.
