Squid Game Season 2 Plot, Cast, Director, First-Look Footage And More Details

Understandably, we won't be seeing a ton of returning characters from "Squid Game" Season 1 as most of them never got off that island (RIP Ali, you live on in our hearts). However, we do know that Lee Jung-jae is returning as protagonist Seong Gi-hun, who plans on taking the elite to task and stopping their sick games from ever happening again. After the first season of "Squid Game," Lee landed a major role in the upcoming "Star Wars" series "The Acolyte," and we can't wait to see him back as Gi-hun.

Also returning, Lee Byung-hun will play the murderous Front Man and Wi Ha-joon will star as his not-dead-yet brother, Detective Hwang Jun-ho. Gong Yoo of "Train to Busan" fame is also coming back as the creepy recruiter, so prepare to see a few more people get slapped in subway stations. We also know the new names joining the line-up. The first batch of new actors announced for the series were Yim Si-wan ("The Attorney"), Kang Ha-Neul ("Midnight Runners"), Park Sung-hoon ("The Glory"), and Yang Dong-geun ("Yaksha: Ruthless Operations"). Shortly thereafter, we learned "Squid Game" was rounding out the cast with singer Jo Yu-ri, Park Gyu-young ("It's Okay to Not Be Okay"), Kang Ae-sim ("Move to Heaven"), Lee David ("Itaewon Class"), Lee Jin-uk ("Glass Castle"), rapper Choi Seung-hyun (aka T.O.P.), Roh Jae-won ("Missing Yoon"), and Won Ji-an ("If You Wish Upon Me").
