'Squid Game' Star Lee Jung-jae Reveals When Season 2 Begins Production
And more on what to expect from the Netflix series.
As Netflix‘s No. 1 show, it’s natural for fans to wonder when the new season of Squid Game will premiere. While a confirmed date remains unknown, viewers can rest assured knowing that production for Season 2 will commence this summer. In a new interview with Ilgan Sports, Lee Jung-jae, who portrays Seong Gi-hun on the series, shared important details about Season 2, including whether or not he’ll play a lead role.
“It’s probably safe to assume that,” he revealed. “As we all saw at the end of Season 1, the main plot of Season 2 will be revenge, and the key figure who controlled the workings of the games in season 1 was Lee Byung Hun sunbae, so it seems that the two of us will be the central figures of this next story.”
The actor continued, “This is the first time that I’ll be working with Lee Byung Hun sunbae, actually. Well, we worked on a drama called White Nights 3.98 back in the day, but we didn’t have any scenes together.”
He then shared details about production. “Anyways, Squid Game 2 will begin filming in the summer and the filming will likely last for about 10 months,” he added. “We were working on season 1 for about 10 months as well, but that was with delays caused by COVID-19. But seeing as Season 2 will be bigger in scale, it will probably take longer to complete.”
Stay tuned for more news on Season 2 of Squid Game.
