New games introduced for season 2 of the Netflix series

Play octopusNetflix’s breakout Korean drama series has gotten another trailer.

The series, which returns for its second season on December 26, has dropped what Netflix calls its “main” trailer, highlighting a series of new challenges that the participants in the dystopian parlor game will take on.

It is the fifth video released by Netflix before the premiere.

The second season of the show, which comes from writer, director and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk, follows Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) as he returns to the game to try to destroy it from within.

The new trailer shows what’s going on inside the island this time with new characters trying to win the money with new games. One looks like a menacing version of tic-tac-toe, while another appears to be mounted on a horse carousel.

“We’re not trying to hurt you. We’re presenting you with an opportunity,” a guard says ominously in the trailer.

Lee Jung-jae returns as Seong Gi-hun and is joined by Lee Byung-hun, who plays Front Man, the game’s leader; Wi Ha-jun, who plays Hwang Jun-ho, a detective who sneaks into the game in search of his brother; and Gong Yoo, who plays Recruiter, who originally invited Gi-hun to play the game.

New players include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-Neul, Park Sung-hoon and Yang Dong-geun, as well as Park Gyu-young, Jo Yu-ri, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Lee Jin-uk, Choi Seung-hyun , Roh Jae-won and Won Ji-an.

The series is produced by Firstman Studio, where Kim Ji-yeon also produces.
