Director Hwang Dong Hyuk, who produced Netflix's megahit series 'Squid Game,' revealed the two main characters' return in the upcoming season of the series. 

On April 9th, according to the U.S. media outlet Deadline, Hwang Dong Hyuk commented "Gi-hun for sure. He will be back and I believe the Front Man will back too" during their 'Deadline Contenders Television' segment.

As Sung Gi-hun is played by Lee Jung Jae and the Front Man is played by Lee Byung Hun, the two superstar actors will once again appear in season 2 of 'Squid Game'. While Sung Gi-hun's return was alluded to at the end of the first season, this is the first time the director confirming his return in public. 

Further, Deadline reported Hwang Dong Hyuk teased the possible return of Jung Ho Yeon Jung as her own evil twin sister.

Hwang Dong Hyuk commented, "My hope is that a work like Squid Game in a little way has opened the door. I hope American audiences give the piece a chance and that you read the subtitles and watch without dubbing. We're hoping that we open that opportunity"

Meanwhile, it was previously reported the production team is aiming to release season 2 at the end of 2024.
