We finally know whenSquid Game season 2is hitting Netflix, thanks to its star.

Lee Jung-jae, who plays Gi-hun, gave an update toBusiness Insideron when the show would be returning. “It will be released in December,” he revealed.

So far, not much is known about the new season of the hit show, but there are a few first look photos to help with the wait. One, which you can see above, intriguingly shows Gi-hun with the Recruiter (Gong Yoo) – season 1 ended with Gi-hun planning on taking down the games, so it looks like he’s getting started.There’s also an ominous teaser for the new season, too, which suggests the games are about to begin all over again.

Lee can next be seen inThe Acolyte, the next Star Wars show. He’s playing a Jedi named Sol.
