Netflix Inc. announced on Sunday that global megahit "Squid Game" will be back for a second season, giving some hints about what may be coming to the dark Korean drama.
"Squid Game" became Netflix's most-watched series when it was released in September 2021. The show tells the story of money-strapped contestants who play childhood games for a chance at life-changing money. It inspired countless memes and Halloween costumes and started selling green tracksuits.
Writer and director Hwang Dong-hyuk teased some details about the show's second season in a letter released by Netflix.
The characters Gi-hun and the front man will return, he said, and "the man in the suit with the grudge may return."
"You will also be introduced to Young-hee's boyfriend," he said.
Young-hee is a motion-sensing animatronic doll featured in one of the games.
Netflix did not say when the new season would be released.
