The Netflix series 'Squid Game 2' is coming next month armed with a more colorful set than Season 1 and a new game.

The production team said they struggled to prevent "spoilers" by making a script that could not be copied, saying there were few actors who knew the ending.

Reporter Kim Seung-hwan reports.

The most successful 'Squid Game' of all time Korean content is knocking on the world's door again in three years.

Unlike Season 1, which started the game just after the money, it depicts the journey of "Sung Sung-hoon" to find the game organizer and get revenge.

[Lee Jungjae / Starring 'Squid Game 2' : I watched the scenario (for the first time) and it was more fun than season 1. How can I write a scenario like this....]

Actors Yang Dong-geun and Park Sung-hoon join as new faces and start gambling with their lives in a grander set than in season 1.

[Hwang Donghyuk / Director of "Squid Game 2" : I killed all the popular characters in season 1.... that new characters appear. And I think the biggest difference (from season 1) is that they play a new game.

At the time of filming, the interest in season 2 grew too much, so I paid attention to preventing content leakage by delivering the script in an online form that could not be printed.

[Kim Ji-yeon / CEO of 'Squid Game 2' Production Company: (Actors) don't know who dies where and how, and they don't know who's behind even after filming together, so few actors actually knew the script until the end in this part...]

Regarding the casting controversy over Big Bang member Top, who was convicted of drug charges, he explained that it was a difficult decision to make because he judged that he was suitable for the character in the play.

[Hwang Dong-hyuk / Director of 'Squid Game 2' : We have no choice but to show why we had to do this with this actor (Top) as an outcome....]

Season 2 will be released on the 26th of next month, the end of the year, and next season 3 is expected to be the last narrative of the squid game.
