SQUID GAME S2 When 'Squid Game' became an international phenomenon with its inaugural season on Netflix in September 2021, it was such a rare thing. A subtitled, edge of your seat thriller about down on their luck people literally gambling their lives away in a series of deadly games in South Korea for a huge pot of money, Hwang Dong-hyuk's show had as big a cultural moment as Bong Joon-ho's groundbreaking Oscar winning movie 'Parasite'. As word of mouth spread, the show quickly became a talking point in offices, shops and factories, on train and bus commutes, on social media, TV and radio shows and print and online media. Like 'Parasite,' Hwang Dong-hyuk's series made history too at a host of awards ceremonies, with Critics Choice, People's Choice, Screen Actors Guild and Primetime Emmy awards going to its lead man Lee Jung-jae, a Lead Actress SAG for Jung Ho-yeon and a Golden Globe for Supporting Actor for O Yeong-so.
