"While I was writing season one, I thought about the stories that could be in season two if I get to do one-one would be the story of the Frontman," he told the outlet. In an October 2021 interview with The Times (opens in new tab), director Hwang suggested that the Front Man (Lee Byung-hyn), a former cop himself, could become one of the show's leads. The masked man was ruthless throughout the Game, and when he discovered that his younger brother had infiltrated the Game, he shot him (though perhaps not fatally we never see Jun-ho's body). At the end of the season, his identity was revealed as Hwang In-ho (Lee Byung-hun), policeman Jun-ho's (Wi Ha-jun) older brother. Hwang has also dropped hints that Season 2 could focus more on the Front Man, who led season 1's Game. Speaking to Deadline on the 2022 Emmys red carpet, Hwang teased that Gi-hun will be seeking revenge in the upcoming season and come back as a very different character. While the first Game was presumably founded in Korea, since Oh Il-nam (Oh Young-soo) was involved, another country's Game may become the subject of a future season. Season 1 revealed that there are deadly Games happening all over the globe, with rich men from multiple countries gambling on the outcomes. There's also no guarantee that a continuation would follow the next Game in Korea. He could try to get the police on his side, after they turned him away in Episode 2, or he could find more past players, who may or may not have worked through their trauma enough to take on the wealthy VIPs and Game masters. Everything besides Gi-hun's return is still up in the air. The end scene has fans hoping that Gi-hun's story will continue, with the victor teaming up with others to shut down the secret, multinational death Game. Right before he's set to head off to America, Gi-hun decides to stay in Korea, with hopes of shutting down the Game once and for all. One year later, Gi-hun discovers that the Game is about to begin again when he runs into the Salesman (Gong Yoo) recruiting another player.

Squid Game season 1 spanned a full Game, with Seong Gi-hun (opens in new tab) (Lee Jung-jae) emerging with the 456 billion won prize.
He also said that the new episodes would see "improvements in production budgets," so there may be even wilder sets than we've already seen. "We will start shooting Season 2 next year and it’ll be released the following year," he said, adding that season 2's games have been already confirmed.
In a post-Emmys congratulatory press conference, Hwang offered more details on the production, confirming that they'll start filming season 2 in the new year, per Variety (opens in new tab). He also noted in a separate interview that he planned to finish writing the second season by the end of 2022. "Humanity is going to be put to a test through those games once again," he told the outlet. He said at the time that he had three pages’ worth of ideas and that there would definitely be more games. As for when it might premiere, director Hwang told Vanity Fair (opens in new tab) that he thinks the new season could be out by late 2023 or early 2024.
