Within this trailer we can see a similarly eery concept as millions witnessed in the first season - contestants playing games that could result in their death to win a substantial amount of money that could change their life.
The trailer begins with the players being welcomed in the same way as previously seen, with their photos being taken, being given a number and their iconic green tracksuits. Here, we see the return of the main character from Season 1 - Seong Gi-hun, better known as Player 456. The contestants are then present in the huge sleeping quarters which many will still remember from the first season.
We are then bought back to the first game of the show that frightened viewers in Season 1: Red Light, Green Light. When a contestant moves, they are shot dead. In this red light green light scene, Player 456 is seen to be directing people on how to play the game. Despite this, people failed to stay still therefore causing the first swarm of gruesome deaths.
After this first game, contestants were given the choice to leave the game or continue to try and win even more money. During this stage of voting, Player 456 warned the contestants to vote to leave as he had played and experienced it all before, but the other contestants are unsure as they questioned why he returned if he knew what was ahead of him.
After this, various scenes flash across the screen where we can see the same death and anarchy witnessed in season 1, including the return of the honeycomb game. We also see two more familiar faces: Hwang In-ho (the Front Man) and Hwang Jun-ho. In season 1 we discovered that these were two siblings, with Jun-ho being a police detective who was trying to find his brother, who he suspected to have competed in the Squid Games, and discovered that In-ho was now the Front Man after winning the games previously.
With the return of these intriguing characters and their storylines, along with the same mind-bending games, this trailer promises even more drama, gore, and chaos than the first season.
