Lee Jung-jae reprises his role as the champion and sole survivor from Season 1 in the new 30-second clip , which features a series of faceless players in their green tracksuits, the last of which is revealed to be his character Seong Gi-hun.

The dramatically-lit teaser shows each player’s number on the back of their jackets, increasing until reaching Gi-hun’s #456 patch.

Season 2 takes place three years after Gi-hun won Squid Game, giving up on going to the states and coming back with a new resolution in his mind. He 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.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk previously told Deadline that the new season will see Gi-hun seeking revenge , entering the game as a different, more serious character.
