If one of thebest Netflix showshas taught us anything, it’s if someone asks you to play a game, you probably shouldn’t. While the phrase was popularised by theSawfranchise (which is available to stream on Max andDisney Plus as part of a bundle in the USor Netflix in the UK and Stan in Australia), it’s also in the newSquid Gameseason 2trailer, which focuses on the mysterious salesman (Gong Yoo) from the first season.
Does that mean he’s back to his old tricks, then? Though the new trailer dropped by thebest streaming serviceis a short one – it’s notably longer than the48-second longSquid Gameseason 2 trailerfrom August – it’s very captivating and shows Gong Yoo getting ready to lure in more potential players. Some things never change!
What happens in the new Squid Game season 2 trailer?
Well, it’s actually different from what we’re used to seeing. Instead of those iconic blue numbered tracksuits or the masked guards, the new teaser takes us inside a rather glamorous home. Here, we watch as someone goes about their day; drinking coffee, showering, and getting dressed. As he reaches into the cupboard his face is revealed to be the salesman’s, and he’s picking up those familiar red and blue cards.
It ends with him asking the camera if you want to play a game with him, taking us back to when a desperate Seong Gi-hun was approached by him, ultimately leading him down the path to the deadly games.
