A more innocent children’s game takes a sinister turn as “Squid Game” returns with more carnage and mayhem.
In the second season, which premieres this week, Gi-hun, or Player 456, once again takes part in a dangerous game where unsuspecting South Korean citizens must risk their lives to win a huge cash prize. But this time, Ki-hoon has a plan: he wants to end this terrible competition once and for all.
