In the statement, Hwang confirmed that characters Seong Gi-hun and the Front Man will be returning in Squid Game season 2, adding that the man in the suit with ddakji might be back, too.

However, while the writer-director had teased the involvement of all three in various interviews prior to the shows renewal, Hwangs message also contained mention of a brand new character: Cheol-su.

Youll also be introduced to Young-hees boyfriend, Cheol-su, Hwang wrote, in reference to the series now-iconic murderous robot doll. Young-hee featured
in Squid Games first episode Red Light, Green Light as a motion-sensing animatron that ordered the deaths of any contestants caught moving while
under its watchful gaze. Young-hee was responsible for 255 fatalities in the show, making Red Light, Green Light the deadliest game of any featured across Squid Games nine episodes.

Cheol-su, it seems, is a male companion of Young-hee and one we expect to be equally terrifying. Perhaps hell even sing his own version of the latters eerie Red Light, Green Light, 1-2-3 jingle Let the games begin (again) (Image credit: Netflix)

In any case, its clear that Squid Game season 2 will feature more of the
shows perilous puzzles a fact confirmed by creator Hwang in a recent interview with Vanity Fair . Humanity is going to be put to a test through those games once again, Hwang said of the series' return in May. I want to
ask the question, Is true solidarity between humans possible?'

As for what story new episodes of the Netflix series will tell, the most likely plot thread to explore is Gi-huns quest for revenge against the games mysterious organizers. Hwangs latest statement adds fuel to that fire, with the relationship between the Front Man, In-ho, and his brother, Jun-hon, also now confirmed to feature in proceedings.

Regardless, it looks like well be waiting a few years to find out Gi-huns fate. Vanity Fair reports that Hwang only has about three pages worth of
ideas that he plans to turn into a script for season 2 right now, adding that new episodes arent likely to arrive on Netflix until the end of 2023 at the earliest.

The slow progress comes as a result of the writer's ongoing involvement in other projects Hwang is currently working on a new movie , Killing Old
People Club, which he says is sure to be another controversial film.
