Lee Byung-hun, who played the Frontman in Season 1, returns as a participant in Season 2 when Gi-hun re-enters the game. The appearance of new character Oh Dal-su adds further intrigue, and viewers are curious about his identity. Some fans have pointed out the connection between Oh Young-su’s character in Season 1, whose name was Oh Young-il, and Lee Byung-hun’s character, Oh Il-nam, suggesting possible family ties. Others speculate that Gong Yoo or Oh Dal-su might be connected to the Frontman or play a key role in the game.
In an interview with Variety on December 26, “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk discussed the ending of Season 2, revealing that the story was originally planned to span 8–9 episodes, but ended up expanding beyond 10 episodes. Hwang explained that the season reached a natural stopping point, allowing for a transition to Season 3.
Hwang Dong-hyuk also shared insights about Gi-hun’s journey, where all of his attempts to stop the game failed. His efforts to gather mercenaries, convince players to vote to leave, and incite a rebellion all end in failure, leading to a tragic loss. Hwang described this moment as a fitting conclusion for the season, setting up a heavy burden of guilt for Gi-hun as he moves forward into Season 3.
While Season 2 sets the stage for the next chapter, it also raises more questions about how the grand narrative will unfold. According to Hwang Dong-hyuk, Season 3 is expected to be released in the summer or fall of next year.
