“Squid Game 2” has made headlines by snagging a prestigious trophy at this year’s Critics Choice Awards, further cementing its status as a global phenomenon.
‘Squid Game’ Season 2 Wins Big at the 30th Critic Choice Awards
On February 7 local time, the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards took place in Santa Monica, California. Originally slated for January 12, the ceremony was postponed due to the Los Angeles wildfires, adding an unexpected twist to an already eventful awards season.
At the ceremony, “Squid Game” was honored with the award for Best Foreign Language Series. This year, the series faced tough competition from a strong lineup of nominees including “Pachinko” (which previously won the award in 2023), “Acapulco,” “Citadel: Honey Bunny,” “La Máquina,” “The Law According to Lidia Poët,” “My Brilliant Friend,” and “Senna.”
Emerging victorious, “Squid Game” not only showcased its captivating narrative and outstanding production values but also demonstrated its widespread appeal and cultural impact.
This win marks the second time the franchise has received the Best Foreign Language Series accolade. In 2022, Season 1 of “Squid Game” claimed the same prize, a triumph that was accompanied by star Lee Jung Jae’s win for Best Actor in a Drama Series. With “Squid Game 2” now earning this honor, the series’ continued success speaks volumes about its ability to innovate and captivate audiences worldwide.
The trophy is a testament to the creative vision, stellar performances, and relentless dedication of the cast and crew behind “Squid Game 2.” It not only celebrates their hard work but also sets high expectations for future installments of the series.
As anticipation builds for what comes next, congratulations are in order for everyone involved. “Squid Game” is poised to further push boundaries in television storytelling, inviting audiences to once again dive into its mesmerizing and thought-provoking world.
In the meantime, the third season of “Squid Game” is set to premiere later this year.
