Netflix's Squid Game has seemingly gone soft in the second series as they have dialled back the blood bath massacres that it was famed for during its first season.
The first episode of the survival thriller's season one saw a staggering 225 deaths alone.
But for the dystopian saga's return there are just two deaths which is a far cry from fans would have expected.
After the likes of the show's horrifying Red Light, Green Light game, viewers may be left wanting more from the Boxing Day release.
A TV source told The Sun: 'Most of that was down to the eye-popping murder games, the likes of which had never been seen beyond Hunger Games and Battle Royale.
'Instead of hooking fans with the same kind of horror in series two, makers have done the exact opposite.

'You'll find more than two murders in an average episode of a British soap.'
The trailer for season two started with a new set of players being recruited for the twisted game before the winner of the last Squid Game Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, appears on screen.
In the back of a car, Gi-hun sits face to face with a gold speaker shaped like a pig as it eerily asks him: 'Player 456. What do you want from me?'
To which he replies: 'Put me back in the game.'
As the new game commences, we see the fresh faces of excited new players which bare a stark difference to the worn and vengeful face of Gi-hun.
One contestant asks Gi-hun why he came back and he tells him: 'I'm trying to put an end to this game.'
He appears to take on a leadership role in the game and tells the other players: 'Those who created this game... we should fight them.'
Some fans have noticed that a character who was understood to have died in season one has returned.

Jun-ho, played by Wi Ha-jun, was the determined police officer hell-bent on finding his brother, In-ho, and exposing the games to the authorities.
He was presumed dead in episode eight when he fell off a cliff after being shot in the shoulder by his brother when he discovered that his missing sibling was in fact the game's masked Front Man.
However, Jun-ho can be seen in the trailer, crouched down with his a gun at the ready in a forest with other officers.
In one eerie clip, he tricks one of the game's masked henchmen by playing dead but as the worker checks his pulse, Gi-hun snaps his eyes open.
Squid Game Season 2 premieres globally on Netflix on December 26.
