Squid Game was a massive success for Netflix, and remains the streamer's biggest ever show. We have heard that season 2 will be "bigger in every way," but won't have much of an idea of what to expect until we get a look at that trailer.
The first season focused on "people who fail at life for various reasons, who suddenly receive a mysterious invitation to participate in a survival game to win more than 38 million US dollars. The game takes place at an isolated island and the participants are locked up until there is a final winner. The story will incorporate popular children's games from the 1970s and 1980s of Korea, such as squid game, literal translation of its Korean name, which is a type of tag where offense and defense use a squid-shaped board drawn in the dirt."
