The recordings of the second season of Netflix’s hit “Round 6” (Squid Game) have finally earned a possible start date: between June and September of this year (during the summer in the Korean region), according to Lee Jung -jae, main actor of the series, in an interview with the Korean newspaper Ilgan Sport.
I think we’re shooting for about 10 months, which was the same amount of time it took to make season 1 – obviously, in that case, we had delays caused by covid-19. But the second year is supposed to have a bigger scale, so it’s a more complicated production.
Jung-jae said to the portal.
Who is the frontman in the “Sixth round”?
For those who don’t remember, the first season ended with Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) wanting to take revenge and put an end to the sadistic survival games for money – and Front Man is the famous boss who controlled the games behind the scenes .
“I think it’s safe to assume that season two will revolve around the two of us,” the actor said, adding that this “will be my first time working with Lee Byung-hun. [Front Man]. We were on a series together called White Nights 3.98, but we never played music together.
It is worth mentioning that in May 2022, after the director of the series confirmed a second season, he fired the imagination of fans by saying that the sequel would have even better challenges for the players.
Despite the information announced by Lee Jung-jae, Netflix has not yet confirmed the start of filming, nor details on the continuation of the story, much less given a release date – the rumors point to the second half of 2024.
“Round 6” is the most-watched show ever released on the Netflix platform, including productions in all languages, with 1.65 billion hours watched in the series’ first four weeks of airing. The first season is still available to stream.
