Season 2 is set three years after Gi-hun won the first Squid Game in season 1. Instead of traveling to Los Angeles to be with his daughter, he abandons his flight and sets out on a mission to end the games once and for all. Per Netflix’s season 2 synopsis, “Gi-hun once again dives into the mysterious survival game, starting another life-or-death game with new participants gathered to win the prize of 45.6 billion won.”
