Netflix previously hinted that Squid Game would conclude with Season 3, and they’ve just dropped the official poster: the iconic doll from the Red Light, Green Light game, now joined by a male doll.
Felt like Squid Game Season 2 was a massive cliffhanger? You’re not alone. That finale had us all glued to the edge of our seats, holding our breath as the final moments unfolded. And the twists, the drama, and the unanswered questions left us craving more.
Well, here’s some good news: Squid Game Season 3 is coming, and it’s sooner than you might think! No more waiting three long years this time around. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed in interviews that the launch date for the final season will be revealed soon. For now, we know it’s slated to arrive in 2025, so the countdown has officially begun.
Here’s What We Know So Far About ‘Squid Game 3’
As previously announced, the upcoming third season will be the grand finale of the groundbreaking series that has captivated millions worldwide. Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed his excitement in a heartfelt statement last year, reflecting on the global phenomenon that Squid Game has become since its debut. “It’s been almost three years since Season 1 was met with an incredible response around the world,” he wrote. “I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date of Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season.” He also hinted that the intense battle between Seong Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man will take center stage in the ultimate showdown.
Season 2 left fans buzzing with theories and speculation. (Spoiler alert!) The return of Seong Gi-hun, the sole survivor of the original competition, brought new energy to the show. But this time, Gi-hun wasn’t after the money. He was on a mission to dismantle the Squid Game itself and take down the operation’s sinister mastermind, the Front Man. Packed with heart-pounding action, shocking betrayals, and emotional gut punches—including the death of Gi-hun’s best friend from Season 1, Park Jung-bae—Season 2 raised the stakes even higher.
The finale, however, left us with more questions than answers. The post-credit scene teased a glimpse of what’s to come: a new version of the Red Light, Green Light game, now featuring two dolls, Young-hee and her male counterpart, Chul-su. Fans have been dissecting every detail of the teaser, trying to piece together what this could mean for the story’s conclusion.
When asked about Season 3’s release, Hwang Dong-hyuk remained tight-lipped, saying, “At this point, anything I might say is going to be a spoiler, so I want to be cautious.” He did share, however, that the next season will likely launch in the summer or fall of 2025.
Meanwhile, Season 2 has already earned critical acclaim, including a nomination for a Golden Globe in the Best Television Series—Drama category. It’s up against tough competition—The Diplomat, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Shogun, Slow Horses, and The Day of the Jackal—but the buzz surrounding Squid Game keeps growing with more speculations and teasers released by the streaming giant.So, what are your theories? What’s in store for Gi-hun, the Front Man, and the twisted world of Squid Game? Will justice finally prevail, or will the games end in even more chaos? Let’s hear your predictions. Stay tuned for more updates as we count down to the epic conclusion of Season 3!
