Squid Game is one of the most popular shows of recent years, and its return with Season 2 has garnered considerable attention. As the third and final season has already been confirmed, fans want to know whether there is a mid, end, or post-credits scene in the Season 2 finale of the series, offering hints on what is to come in future episodes.
Does Squid Game Season 2 have any post-credits scenes and how many?
Squid Game Season 2 has one mid-credits scene.
In franchise filmmaking, these scenes generally denote the story will continue or wrap up any loose plot threads. They can also be used to offer the viewers moments of pure fan service. Big franchises, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars, regularly use mid, post, and end-credits scenes. Given how big of an intellectual property Squid Game has become, it makes sense the storytellers would choose to use a mid-credits scene to tease a major plot point in Season 3.
Squid Game Season 2’s mid-credits scene explained
Squid Game Season 2 ends with the death of Jung-bae and the utter failure of the player’s rebellion. If the viewers think that this is the end of the second season, they’re in for a surprise. In the mid-credits scene, Players 096, 100, and 353 find themselves facing an iteration of Red Light, Green Light as their fourth game. However, unlike the last one played, this one has a male doll alongside the female one.
The presence of a second doll doubles the danger for the remaining players. It also effectively makes Seong Gi-hun’s desperate actions to stop the game pointless. Multiple players can potentially survive in Red Light, Green Light, and so there can now be several winners.
Additionally, the twist also sends out a strong message to players like Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, who believe that they can predict the games and actions of the people behind them. Squid Game is a show that underscores human greed. Front Man and his associates know that most players will choose money over the well-being of others. By allowing them to believe their chances of survival have just gotten bigger, Front Man has once more full control over them.
