Okay, so you know how everyone’s been buzzing about Squid Game season 2? Right, so I got super curious about when the English dub was gonna drop. Here’s how I went about finding out – and man, it was a bit of a rabbit hole.
First thing I did, naturally, was hit up Google. I typed in “squid games 2 english dub release date” – simple, right? Got a bunch of articles, some from legit news sites, others…well, not so much. Started clicking around.
The problem? Most of these articles were just speculation. They were all saying things like “expected release date” or “rumored to be.” Ugh. That wasn’t gonna cut it. I needed something solid.
Next step? I went straight to the source – or tried to. I checked Netflix’s official website and their social media channels (Twitter, Instagram, the whole shebang). Nothing concrete there either. They were promoting the show, sure, but no specific date for the English dub.
So, I figured, alright, let’s dig a little deeper. I remembered seeing some fan forums and Reddit threads dedicated to Squid Game. Went over there, started lurking (and occasionally posting to ask if anyone had heard anything reliable).
That’s where things got a little more interesting. Some users claimed to have “insider” information, which, let’s be honest, is usually just hot air. But then I found a thread where someone mentioned checking the Netflix API. Now, I’m no coding whiz, but I know a thing or two about APIs.
Here’s what I did: I used my browser’s developer tools (you know, right-click, “Inspect,” and then look for the “Network” tab) while browsing the Squid Game page on Netflix. I started looking at the requests being made to Netflix’s servers.
It was messy, I’m not gonna lie. Tons of JSON data flying around. But I started filtering by keywords like “dub,” “English,” and “release.” Took a while, but eventually, I stumbled upon a JSON response that included a section about audio tracks. And guess what? It listed the English dub, but without a specific release date. Just a vague “coming soon.” Argh!
- Google Search
- Netflix Official Website and Social Media
- Fan Forums and Reddit
- Netflix API (using browser’s developer tools)
Okay, back to the drawing board. I remembered reading that sometimes release dates leak on IMDb. So I checked the Squid Game season 2 page there. Nope, nothing definitive. Just the same speculation I’d seen everywhere else.
Then, a lucky break! On one of the fan forums, someone posted a screenshot of a Netflix customer service chat. Apparently, they’d asked a rep directly about the English dub. The rep (allegedly) said that it was expected to be available within a week or two of the original release. Take that with a HUGE grain of salt, of course.
The Verdict? Honestly, I still don’t have a rock-solid, guaranteed release date. But based on that customer service chat and the overall vibe I’m getting, I’m guessing the English dub will be out pretty darn soon. Just gotta keep checking back and refreshing those Netflix pages!
So, in a nutshell, here’s what I learned:
Sometimes, you just gotta be patient. The internet can be a treasure trove of information, but it can also be full of garbage. Official sources are always the best, but sometimes you gotta dig a little deeper (and maybe rely on a little bit of luck).
And remember, don’t believe everything you read on the internet! Especially on Reddit. 😉
