Squid Game Season 2 Plans Hint At Gihuns Death

Warning: the following contains SPOILERS for Squid Game.

Squid Game creator, director, and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk could be planning to finally kill Lee Jung-jae’s Seong Gi-hun in season 2. Squid Game, shortly after its September 2021 release on Netflix, quickly became the most popular show on the giant streaming platform. And much of the show’s success can be attributed to Squid Game’s many different twists, its political and realistic depiction of death games, and how Dong-hyuk wrapped a colorful and accessible narrative around the series’ heavy social commentary.

Squid Game protagonist Seong Gi-hun stands in the middle of all these elements. Gi-hun’s desperate, kindhearted, and charismatic nature makes his journey relatable to most viewers. Gi-hun is easily Squid Game’s most beloved character. And this could all be a set up to make his final fate all the more tragic.

Squid Game season 2, based the plans revealed by Dong-hyuk, could end with the death of Gi-hun. As Dong-hyuk explains, Squid Game season 1 was initially supposed to end with Gi-hun getting on the plane to see his daughter in the U.S. However, Dong-hyuk and Squid Game’s other writers later came to the conclusion that, although giving Gi-hun a happy ending would be satisfying to viewers, it would rob them of the chance to propose or answer the series’ most pressing question. As Dong-hyuk explains via Entertainment Weekly:

“The question that we want to answer — why has the world come to what it is now? — can only be answered or can only be proposed if Gi-hun turned back and walked towards the camera… I think I am going to stick to the basic story line that I have in mind.”

In short, Dong-hyuk seems to be planning to not just continue Squid Game’s sociopolitical themes, but to take the series’ social commentary even further. Combined with the existing theories about what Seong Gi-hun is planning to do in season 2, this could spell tragedy for the series’ beloved protagonist. At the end of season 1, Gi-hun seemed determined to somehow move against the Squid Game organization. And in season 2, Squid Game’s Gi-hun could finally become a hero – but possibly at the expense of not just his freedom, but his own life. Indeed, while the death of Gi-hun is likely to upset many fans of the series, it could be necessary for crafting new twists and developing new elements that would allow Squid Game season 2 to surpass the events of the first season.

Squid Game season 2 will likely come out in late 2022. Netflix hasn’t yet given a release date, but considering the show’s still rising popularity, an official release date is likely to be announced soon. Whether or not Gi-hun survives the end of next season, the biggest Squid Game theories for season 2 will be resolved soon enough.
