Netflix has confirmed the release date of the second season of hit show Squid Game.

The show became a sensation on Netflix, with viewers being captivated by its dystopian depiction of how desperation over money allows people to be manipulated into extreme danger.

Season one of Squid Game followed the fates of people participating in a series of life or death games, with the promise of a fortune if they emerged the victor.

The chilling series was praised for its showing of how desperation can be used to drive people into risking their very lives.

Even though everyone who participated in the games technically chose to be there, the show made clear that those who chose to risk their lives in tug of war, marbles and the bridge of death, did so because they knew their lives outside the games would be miserable - and possibly rather short if they didn't do something.

After an explosive finale at the end of season one, Netflix has now confirmed the release date of the second season of the popular series.

The simple teaser saw a set of 'athletes' at the starting line of a running race, seeing only their legs.

After they start, the show's infamous dissonant theme begins playing and we see people starting to fall to the ground, as others wearing the signature tracksuits associated with the games begin to replace the athletes.

The runners pass a podium, on which are standing a group of the sinister red guards wearing their playstation button masks.

At the centre of the group is the game master himself, with his own unsettling mask.

As the camera cuts to a close up of the figure, who stands completely still, he says: "It's been three years, are you ready to play again?"

The clip then cuts to a caption saying 'the real game begins', and announces that the second season of the hit show will premiere on December 26.

We are then treated to the blank, probing stare of the Red Light/Green Light doll, before the teaser cuts to black.

Squid Game's first season caused an online sensation, sparking debate and discussion, as well as innumerable imitations and sketches playing on the distinctive themes of the show.

Netflix has also confirmed that the show will end after the third season.

With the second season ending with the promise of exploring more about the origins of the brutal games and their mysterious backers, it is hotly anticipated.
