Netflix has officially renewed Squid Game for a second season. In a message accompanying the news, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that both Gi-hun and the Front Man would return for Season 2. “The man in the suit with ddakji might be back.

Netflix Enlists TOKiMONSTA, Alok More for Squid Game-Inspired EP: Listen
Netflix and Casablanca Records have joined forces to provide fans of Squid Game with a package of music inspired by the dystopian hit series.

Alok found himself similarly entranced by the show’s chilling main theme—but he hasn’t stopped there. Next year will see the Brazilian dance music superstar dropping an entire EP based on the show. “After becoming...
