‘Squid Game’ Season 2 is coming!

‘Squid Game‘ is returning for another season of deadly games, unfavorable odds, and murderous mayhem after taking over the world as Netflix’s most-streamed show of ALL-TIME.

Fans of the wildly popular show can expect to see some familiar faces along with the boyfriend of giant murder doll Young-hee. Yes, you read that right. A GIANT MURDER DOLL HAS A BOO.

“It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year. But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular Netflix series ever,” wrote Hwang Dong-hyuk, Director, Writer, and Executive Producer of ‘Squid Game’ in the official announcement.

“As the writer, director, and producer of ‘Squid Game,’ a huge shout out to fans around the world,” he continued. “Thank you for watching and loving our show.

And now, Gi-hun returns. The Front Man returns. Season 2 is coming. The man in the suit with ddakji might be back. You’ll also be introduced to Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su. Join us once more for a whole new round.”

Now, we’re not sure how/why a giant murder doll has a boyfriend but we imagine that he’s just as deadly as his boo.

According to Netflix, the global phenomenon became the streaming giant’s #1 All-Time show with a mind-blowing 1.65 billion hours of viewing in 28 days following its Sept. 17 premiere.

It also joined Nielsen’s exclusive “3 Billion Club” which includes streaming smashes ‘The Crown,’ ‘Tiger King,’ ‘The Umbrella Academy,’ ‘Ozark,’ and ‘You.’
