Season 1 ended with a lot of unanswered questions and fans have the craziest theories to answer them.

The most popular theory is that Gi-hun, the winner of the game in Season 1, will return to the Game as a guard.

[{"selector":"#anim-986d64f9-3cda-4985-a3a4-af06069790e2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-01a520ed-ee82-4b25-876e-3e09d2e22e5d","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.41488%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7dd44437-628b-4874-b13f-cc3d0c962d40","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-83681bd2-d9df-4320-9931-50faa3c1846a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9407e20e-fdea-44a0-beea-b50f0d86ad55 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-8.545671043402152%, -22.010649467243013%) scale(1.4504504504504505)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

2nd theory: Jun-ho, the cop who infiltrated the games in season 1, isn’t dead and he ends the games.

[{"selector":"#anim-8a38e132-6c53-442f-ac2a-a4788b273558","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-5061894a-f30d-4af9-ae89-6ea88bedf7f2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.41488%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-26c85358-1f0f-45a5-ba3b-c6a30a280f9f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c0ad7fb-1ef1-46d6-8a7d-60a13e98c133","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a662c9e2-7d24-41b8-ada6-eb5d158776aa [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(17.720522248193586%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The next theory claims that Jun-ho sent evidence before dying to the police, and the police stopped the games.

[{"selector":"#anim-85274cef-647c-47b1-b883-941c931b1052","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-23147eea-510a-452a-9223-69ab5fc89d9c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 139.31625%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2a375201-c9f3-40d8-8407-2f73160a9deb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f631ba86-3116-4e30-aef9-c08ace300df5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d71e3bd-3d62-4330-8422-cbf198688095 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-5.9142857308965695%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The next theory is an interesting one. It claims the story to be a prequel of season 1.

[{"selector":"#anim-185d5fc7-06fb-4e72-87f9-e0841ba7e100","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7a93022e-857a-4528-ada6-e788098efe42","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 154.83536%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b2fcdef3-9ab4-4b78-bda6-5ca59fac5671","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-114270f9-47a1-45b3-9777-5e3e46eb072e","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9c1a0a13-88c3-4447-8dec-64fd5ad3c59f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 24.545453662841986%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Another fan-theory claims that the story will take things back to the life of Il-nam, the maker of the games.

[{"selector":"#anim-9e49584b-c209-403b-ad21-e64ce79ea102","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96acfe7c-b7bc-493a-a12e-f0d585f3c9d3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 153.41488%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a587adb5-5296-4ab2-8850-2acc95d5e621","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-2c78394e-748c-4c99-98c1-31ce41907c68","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a2e1e8f1-cee0-4e6a-9246-8b74f976845c [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Another wild theory claims that the Gi-hun’s loved ones will be put in the games.

[{"selector":"#anim-006b0d85-9af9-411d-8df1-8b1d41145ced","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7940e567-8c37-457b-9459-6356bb86e1a9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 163.50665%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-84c2657f-cadb-4f7b-9871-e5c81280b52b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ed9cafb8-8413-46f3-bedc-3b3c31223e78","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-134.78265%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9550a7f4-7bd6-4ac3-9662-47e74947e301 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(3.928571459220823%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

The simplest theory speculates that the games will simply take place in a different country, and different kinds of games.
