'Squid Game' is back for season 2, says Netflix

Netflix announced Sunday that the sensational South Korean show "Squid Game" is returning for a second season.

"A whole new round is coming," director, writer and executive producer of the drama Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a letter to fans.

"It took 12 years to bring the first season of Squid Game to life last year," Hwang said in the letter. "But it took 12 days for Squid Game to become the most popular series ever."

"Squid Game" is a fictional drama from South Korea in which contestants who are desperately in need of money play deadly children's games to win cash prizes.
