Below is the full text of the letter from Hwang Dong-hyuk, the producer, writer, and director of ‘Squid Game’.The real game begins.

It's already been three years since Season 1 received so much love and many unbelievable things happened. And now, I am so happy and excited to be able to write a letter informing you of the release schedule for Season 2 and the news of the production of Season 3.

On the first day of filming for Season 2, I remember feeling somewhat unreal, thinking, 'Wow, I can't believe I'm back in the world of Squid Game filming this.' I wonder what the world of Squid Game feels like to you as we meet again after 3 years.

Seong Ki-hoon, who predicted revenge at the end of Season 1, returns and participates in the game. Will he be able to succeed in revenge as he says? The frontman who greets him also seems to be no pushover this time. The fierce battle they will show is expected to continue until the long-awaited finale of Season 3, which will be released next year. I am truly happy to be able to unfold and complete the seed of the idea that sprouted while planning the journey of a new squid game through the story that continues through Season 3.

We will do our best in the remaining work to meet you in great shape.
Please wait with excitement.
Thank you for always. See you soon everyone
