Squid Game: Season 2 | New Final Trailer | Netflix

Squid Game season 2's pre-release nomination is a rare feat for a TV show at the Golden Globes. While this is fairly common practice for movies, it is rare that any TV show has a release so late in December. Like any movie that is nominated for Golden Globes, however, the eligibility requirement for TV shows posits that all nominated shows have to release episodes to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's voting body by a certain cutoff date, which this year is November 4. Squid Game filled this requirement, and was thus eligible for awards for its sophomore season.

Squid Game season 2 is unique, however, in that it is the only TV Drama at the Golden Globes this year that is as of yet unreleased. The other shows up for the award this year include completed seasons of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Shogun, The Diplomat, and Slow Horses, as well as The Day of the Jackal, which is currently on the air. This will make things interesting when it comes to the voting body's choosing of winners, as all five of the other series will have had more time to exist in the cultural milieu before voting comes along.

Thank You So Much For Watching!
