Speaking of the second season’s setting, the series will be based in a dystopian Seoul only with lead actor Lee Jung-jae returning for his iconic role as Seong Gi-hun (contestant #456). Most of the familiar characters were dead by the end of Season 1 with another piece of creator news…no Hollywood celebrities.
“There won’t be any well-known Hollywood actors in season 2. It’s not planned and if the scene changes, maybe in season 3 – but for season 2, it’s still set in Korea. Leonardo DiCaprio said he’s a big fan of “Squid Game”, so maybe if time or the odds allow it, we can ask him to join the games.
Since the setting is set only in the back streets of Korea, there won’t be a cameo by a Hollywood celebrity even if they’re a fan of the show. They might come across as the oligarchs the game is designed for, but we’ll leave it up to Hwang Dong-hyuk to decide for the best.
