"Squid Game" is described on IMDb as a show in which "hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes: a survival game that has a whopping 45.6 billion-won prize at stake."

Squid Games season two spent less than two weeks at number one on Netflix, despite hopes that it would dominate for much longer

The Front Man, whose real name is Hwang In-ho (played by Lee Byung-hun), is undercover cop Jun-ho's (Wi Ha-joon) stepbrother. Unbeknownst to his stepbrother, In-ho is a former Squid Game winner and future employee of Oh Il-nam. But what led In-Ho to compete in the Squid Games, and why did he stay?

Squid Game season 2, though, is already one of Netflix's most popular shows ever, rocketing up to the second spot in the Non-English language all-time chart. It's behind Squid Game season 1 – but that might change over the next 80 days.

Netflix pulled out all the stops for the release of the much-anticipated Season 2, resulting in monster numbers for the series

Squid Game season 3 doesn't have an official release date but Netflix has confirmed it will be out in 2025. Filming has already finished on the third season and show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed in late 2024 they were working on post-production. This means we might be waiting a while into 2025 before new episodes are released.

In its second week, the new season of Squid Game continues to break records as it amassed 126.2 million views total across 11 days. Despite its dominance around the world, the Korean drama could not hold on to the top spot in America.
