4 clues that hint at Squid Game season 2: The male lead to become the next host, a character will come back to life?
The following theories will definitely make Squid Game season 2 way wilder and more exciting!
After its release, Netflix’s hit series Squid Game quickly became a worldwide phenomenon. Squid Game marks the first time a Korean series ranks 1st place on Netflix US’s trending – proving the huge impact of this survival drama. The open ending of Squid Game makes many viewers curious and have great expectations for the next season.
Director Hwang Dong Hyuk is the one who wrote the script and directed all 9 episodes of Squid Game. When asked about season 2, he expressed uncertainty. “I don’t have a thorough plan for Squid Game 2. I’m tired just thinking about it. But if I did, I wouldn’t do it alone anymore. I’ll find more writers and want more directors to join me,” he said. As such, it’s still possible that Squid Game 2 will happen – especially given the overwhelming success of the first season.
Many viewers have quickly come up with extremely interesting and somewhat “wild” theories for the 2nd season of Squid Game. Here are the theories from netizens that make the most sense.
The male lead Gi Hun is the son of the host Oh Il Nam and will become the next game master
The first theory is that the male lead Gi Hun and the old man Il Nam are actually father and son. To become the next host, the “candidate” must survive a season of Squid Game. Therefore, the old man Il Nam arranges for Gi Hun to win, so Gi Hun can become his “successor”.
At the end of the first season, Gi Hun officially returns to Squid Game in order to “ruin” the game. However, if he changes his mind and becomes the next host, Squid Game will have a huge twist.
The handsome cop is still alive and has the evidence to take down Squid Game
The cop character has left both impressions and disappointments in the first season of Squid Game. Although he does a good job at infiltrating Squid Game and uncovering many shocking secrets, Jun Ho ends up getting shot by his brother and falling off the cliff. All his efforts to solve the case become meaningless.
This character leaves many questions and regrets for the viewers. However, Jun Ho is actually only shot in the shoulder, so there is a possibility that he is still alive and will return in season 2. This time, Jun Ho will have to be much more careful if he wants to take down Squid Game and find out the reason why his brother becomes the Front Man.
Sae Byeok’s younger brother joins Squid Game to avenge his sister
The character Sae Byeok dies in a shocking way in Squid Game, leaving behind a little brother in the orphanage. The boy is later given to the care of Sang Woo’s mother by Gi Hun. However, he still doesn’t know the secret of his sister’s death.
Many viewers have theorized that Squid Game 2 could be set many years after the events of season 1, when the little boy Kang Cheol grows up and is mature enough to participate in Squid Game. There is a chance this boy is the one with the ability to bring down the Squid Game organization.
Season 2 will focus on the workers in red jackets?
A popular theory on social media related to the blue – red color of the flipping game in episode 1. Netizens pointed out that those who choose blue cards will become Squid Game players. On the other hand, if they choose red paper, they will be selected as an employee for Squid Game. Both groups of people are promised a lot of money when participating in the game.
This theory even suggests that season 2 of Squid Game will focus on the workers in red jackets. They may also be victims, subject to the terrible punishment of the organizers if they break the rules
Squid Game is available on Netflix.
