A month before the release of the survival thriller show, Netflix has dropped the trailer of 'Squid Game' Season 2, transporting viewers to the same level of thrill, fear and desperation they saw in Season 1.

In the trailer, released on Tuesday, November 26, Player 456 is back into the deadly game with new mission in mind- he has to avenge for what happened the previous time and bring this game to an end. As he goes through the same challenges and dilemmas, he says, "I'm trying to bring an end to this game." He even warns other participants about the dangers that lies ahead of them but 45.6 billion won is too big a cash prize to let go.
