Squid Game Plot and Where To Watch

At the end of Season 1, Gi-hun managed to beat the game against all odds. After the death of Squid Game’s creator, Gi-hun finds that the competition is still going with new recruits. Now it will be easy to continue the story of Gi-hun on center stage again, doing all he can to stop the game as he vows to do in the last moments.

However, it is hard to imagine how Gi-hun can defeat the game’s creators, even with his newfound wealth. One complication is the impossibility of sneaking anywhere undetected with that mop of flame-red hair. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed that Gi-hun will return and do something for the world.

The ending of Season 1 left the door wide open for Gi-hun to return for the second season, but if Hwang ends up changing his mind on that front, there are other ways for Squid Game to continue another season without him.

The previous season of the show was released on Netflix. The second season is also going to air on the same platform.
