These episodes were shot alongside the second season, which premiered in December 2024. According to series director, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk, "the fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man’s] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3.” Released in a letter penned before the close of 2024, it’s clear that season 2 really amped things up.
