The Return of Player 456

Netflix shared the trailer on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “Let the new game begin.” The preview marks the return of Lee Jung Jae, reprising his role as Player 456, Gi-hun. With a determined mission, he re-enters the survival game, vowing to save others and bring the brutal contest to an end.

Gi-hun was the sole survivor of the first season, walking away with a massive prize of 45.6 billion won. However, the trauma of the deadly game remains with him, driving his resolve to dismantle it.

The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever

The trailer opens with new contestants receiving mysterious calls inviting them to the game. A chilling voiceover sets the tone, saying, “Whether you shoot or cheat, nothing will change.” As Gi-hun appears, he is asked why he has returned. His answer is simple yet powerful: “I am trying to end this game.”

The new season promises heightened tension as Gi-hun attempts to rally the contestants against the system. Yet, blinded by greed and desperation, most players prioritize the prize money over unity. The deadly stakes remain unchanged—any misstep could cost them their lives.

Release Date Confirmed
