The new Squid Game 2 trailer reveals new games and terrifying plagues

Player 456 is back in the game, but this time he has a plan. That appears to be what’s teased in the new trailer Squid game 2the highly anticipated seven-episode second season of Netflix’s biggest show of all time. When we last saw 456 (The acolyte‘s Lee Jung-jae), he was the last one standing from the games, but vowed to take them down. This season we see him somehow come back in and now use his insider knowledge for good. But will the others trust him? Let’s watch the new trailer and find out.

What’s most striking about this second trailer is that we finally see some of the new games. We see the standard Red Light, Green Light from season one, but also something with rainbow circles on the ground and a giant carousel surrounded by doors. Any ideas?

It’s probably bad for 456 that he doesn’t know these new games, but that’s to be expected. The trailer also shows him being escorted somewhere by the game masters and a confrontation taking place with the man in charge himself. They were waiting for him and ready. We also see footage of the players fighting each other – always a terrifying idea – as well as footage of possums when one of the guards comes to check on him. Is he alone? Are there others with him?

We know that Squid game 2 is only the second act of the full story, so we suspect the seven episodes releasing on December 26 will only solve part of the mystery. But it’s a sequel we’ve been patiently waiting for for a long time and we can’t wait to get back.

What do you think of the new trailer? Squid game 2? Will you binge the new episodes right away? Let us know below.
