When will season 2 take place?

Spoilers for Season 2 of “Squid Game” follow.

It’s been three years but now the show that is taking over the world in 2021 has become… Netflix’s biggest launch series ever She’s back in an all-new game that’s likely to be just as deadly and treacherous as the last one. One of The most important things to remember from the first season of “Squid Game” is that Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) was the only surviving player from the brutal battle royale game that made him 45.6 billion yen richer, and with A full head of dyed red hair. So where does season two start? How long has it been since our hero declared hunting season on the masters of the game who still pick audience members out of their pockets and give them the fight of their lives? Well, as we revealed in the first episode, it’s not very long. In fact, it’s as if we’ve barely left gaming at all.

At the beginning of the first episode, we reunite with Ji Hoon right where Season 1 left off: Ji Hoon, his hair still red, is still making a phone call to the mysterious front man when he realizes he has a tracer implanted behind his ear, so he immediately cuts it off. From here, the story jumps forward a full two years, highlighting what seems like a long stalemate between our hero and the masked villains.

In a world where every second counts and choosing the right sugar cookie can be a matter of life or death, there’s something to beware of the fact that “Squid Game” jumps forward a full two years after the events of last season’s final episode. . Although he may have been lucky to survive, Ji-hoon gets nowhere in terms of tracking down the game masters behind his traumatic experiment, even with the help of a team he is paid to monitor the subway for the mysterious recruit who lured him into the nightmare to begin with.

But in all this time on strike, what have the bad guys behind the games been doing? To what extent were they monitoring our hero, and more importantly, to what extent did they insinuate themselves into his life after his victory? It’s all well and good to pay a team to do the chasing, but who can say that those hired don’t already have another employer? Every dead end in tracking down the game’s masters may be an insider’s plot. He needs someone he can trust. Someone with a reason to go back over the fence and into the eyes of that head-spinning doll. Unfortunately, that person is busy in the boat with a fisherman to accompany him.

Determined police officer Joon Ho (Wee Ha Jun) returns to the case even after being mistakenly shot and nearly falling to his death last season. Now rehired as a traffic cop after his failed attempt to reveal the games to the world, he has spent the past two years trying to find the island that miraculously disappeared. Apparently, Joon Ho sails every day with fisherman Captain Park, who pulled Joon Ho out of the sea after he was shot last season.

Day after day, Joon Ho and Captain Park sail around the island trying to find the island, with no luck at all. Of course, two years is a long time for a cunning company to cover their tracks, the most important of which is Joon Ho’s brother, Hwang In Ho (Lee Byung Hun), aka the front man, whose legacy continues to be left behind by Oh Il Nam (or Young Soo). The last time the two met, Jun-ho’s older brother shot him and nearly sent him to his death to maintain his new profession, so there’s no telling what lengths he’s willing to go to ensure he stays that way. Right now, the only sensible game plan is to enjoy the entire series and make sure no one picks an umbrella this time.

Season 2 of “Squid Game” is now streaming on Netflix.
