Netflix sent shockwaves through the world with the release of the viral Korean dystopian drama Squid Game, catching everyone off guard. The first season quickly became a sensation, smashing Netflix’s viewing records and prompting the streaming giant to invest even more in the show’s second installment.
Squid Game 2 Release Date
Despite fans eagerly anticipating Squid Game Season 2, they seem surprisingly calm compared to the fervor seen for shows like Stranger Things or Dark. However, Netflix is equally eager to bring back the show, evident from their recent release of the first look of the second season.
While it was confirmed that Squid Game Season 2 would premiere on the platform in 2024, no specific release window had been announced until now. Fortunately, a recent update suggests that we may have finally learned when to expect the highly anticipated second season. According to Comicbook, Squid Game Season 2 is likely to debut in the late second half of 2024. This aligns with the release window for another Netflix hit, Cobra Kai Season 6.
Netflix India Releases
The decision to release both Squid Game Season 2 and Cobra Kai Season 6 in the latter half of the year doesn’t come as a surprise. In India, Netflix is gearing up to launch two massive projects, Amar Singh Chamkila and Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazar, within just 20 days of each other. Despite this, specific release dates for Squid Game Season 2 and Cobra Kai Season 6 have yet to be announced.
Squid Game, created by Hwang Dong-Hyuk, follows the story of a debt-ridden man who enters a reality game to win a large sum of money and pay off his debts. Unbeknownst to him, the game is a deadly circus in disguise, and he, along with 455 others, is kidnapped and forced to play children’s games with lethal consequences. In this cutthroat world, survival becomes the ultimate goal, and contestants must navigate the deadly challenges to come out on top.
