‘Squid Game’: Who Lives, Who Dies & How Season 2’s Ending Sets Up Third & Final Season

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: This story will violently spoil season two of Squid Game so only read if you have finished all seven episodes or want to know how it ends. The second season finale of Squid Game is likely to infuriate some viewers with a classic TV trope: the cliffhanger.

The first season of the dystopian Korean drama series – Netflix’s biggest ever series – was essentially a self-contained story of how Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-Jae was able to navigate a series of deadly challenges to win ₩45.6 billion.

Season two, however, does not offer viewers, who are likely plundering through the seven-part series right now, the same level of closure.

After it was revealed that Squid Game was to end with season three, it emerged that seasons two and three would be written and produced at the same time by creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk.
