Mid-Episode Recap – Squid Game Season 2 Episode 1: “Restart”
Season 2 begins with Gi-hun haunted by the horrors of the first game—but he’s drawn back in after receiving a mysterious message. Meanwhile, new contestants from different walks of life are introduced, each carrying their own trauma and reasons for joining. As the first game begins, the atmosphere is even more intense, with upgraded technology and deadlier consequences. The Front Man returns with a colder strategy, and something bigger seems to be in motion behind the scenes.
This episode sets the tone for a darker, more personal season, where survival means confronting your past as much as the game itself.
