The world of Squid Game is expanding rapidly, and Netflix’s unexpected announcement of Squid Game Season 2 proves it. The widely popular show had been in development for some time, and fans began to doubt its release this year, even though the studio had confirmed it for 2024. However, with the recent announcements, we are now eagerly anticipating December, when Season 2 drops on Netflix. The teaser trailer, released a few days ago, focused on Gi-hun and the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) but left fans curious about the absence of the Salesman, played by Gong Yoo, who plays a pivotal role in the story. Now, a new teaser brings him back into the spotlight. 

Squid Game 2 New Teaser Released

The creators of Squid Game are leaving no stone unturned in keeping the buzz alive as Season 2 gears up for its December release on Netflix. In their latest promotional content, they’ve shared a new teaser that offers a closer look at the upcoming plot. This time, the focus is not on Gi-hun or the Front Man but on the Salesman. That’s right—the teaser reintroduces the Salesman, who is back to recruiting participants for the deadly game in Squid Game Season 2. Read on for all the details.

The teaser is packed with Squid Game Easter eggs. We see the Salesman, played by Gong Yoo, waking up in his apartment, showering, getting ready for work, and leaving for the subway. There, in a scene reminiscent of Season 1, he meets a new individual and asks if they want to play a game. The teaser then moves on to him showing his iconic blue and red Ddakji tiles.

In case you don't remember, Season 1 of Squid Game ended with Gi-hun watching the Salesman from afar as he recruited more contestants into the deadly game. That was the last time we saw the Salesman in Season 1, confirming that he plays a crucial role in Season 2. It will be interesting to see what part he plays and how he contributes to the plot, which remains a big mystery for fans eager to learn more.
