For the Internet, which had long been accustomed to various thrilling cinematic masterpieces that made survival games their fashion statement, the tectonic shift that shook up their grounds with the release of Squid Game in 2021 was a sight to behold. Stemming from South Korea, the series redefined what red light and green light would mean. And as the makers revealed their plans to release a season 2, fans knew that a lot more was about to change.

Nearly 3 years after the release of season 1, Squid Game has dropped the teaser of its upcoming season 2, ironically set to be released on Christmas this year. The Primetime Emmy Awards-winning series has, despite the extended period of wait, managed to maintain the same chokehold grip it had on audiences, and the teaser that dropped further amped up the ante.

The teaser featured a set of players with what can only be described as the horrifying green uniform with their number badges without revealing their identities. While all the players involved in season 2 remained anonymous, Lee Jung-jae, who seems to have not had enough after the traumatic events of the first season, has returned, drawing a big question mark.

While Lee Jung-jae may be the only confirmed cast member to return, Squid Game season 2 will be returning with a familiar crew, leaving fans with a lot of thoughts.

From whether Barbie was a better movie than Oppenheimer to who stands on the higher ground in the Ye, formerly known as Kanye West and Taylor Swift feud that is still burning, there are few things that manage to split the audience as drastically as the Squid Game season 2 teaser. Held on a high pedestal by the majority, the season 2 teaser has not been short of an early Christmas present for fans.

With many guaranteeing that they will be watching the season 2 drop no matter what, it was clear that Squid Game has not lost favor with the audience. However, that does not mean that there were no naysayers.

Given how Squid Game season 1 left little room for another season, many believe that the upcoming season is only due to the global impact that the series has had and not because it would add anything to the story. Regardless, the Squid Game season 2  teaser has caught everyone's attention with fans already dissecting theories.
