Squid Game was such a massive hit that it still holds the all-time viewership record for Netflix — over a year after its release! Thankfully, Season 2 is on its way.

The news was confirmed by Netflix back in June, along with a message from series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk.

Hwang Dong-Hyuk writer, director, producer, and creator of @squidgame has a message for the fans:

Here’s what we know so far:

1.

Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), aka Player 456, will be back next season.

2.

Part of the plot will follow Gi-hun seeking revenge for what he went through in the game.

3.

The ending of Season 1 was meant to wrap up the whole story, but there are a few threads that Hwang might explore in Season 2.

5.

Executive producer Kim Ji-yeon told Tudum that the creative team plans to make the show “even more joyful to the global audience.”

6.

Different versions of the Game could mean new players, which in turn means new characters and cast members.

7.

Young-hee’s “boyfriend,” Cheol-su, will be introduced in Season 2.

8.

Hwang teased that “the man in the suit with ddakji might be back,” which probably means he will be back, presumably with more slaps to give out.

10.

Hwang has also said that he’d like to bring back some of the characters, including Ji-yeong (Emmy winner Lee Yoo-mi), and said he regrets killing off so many characters before knowing there would be a second season.

11.

Hwang wrote and directed every episode of the first season, which took a lot out of him. He won’t be doing that again for Season 2.
