The teaser was unveiled during the streaming service's annual Geeked Week festival held in Atlanta, Georgia. Three years after the explosive success of the first season, which chronicled the harrowing contest involving 456 financially desperate players in a deadly children's game for a chance to win 45.6 billion won, fans are eagerly awaiting the next chapter.
The new teaser reintroduces Lee Jung-jae as Seong Gi-hun, also known as Player 456, who finds himself once again embroiled in the life-or-death games.
