Squid Game final Season 3 set for release this year on Netflix

Written by on February 17, 2025

The second season of Squid Game hit Netflix last December, and the streaming service revealed that the mega-hit show’s third (and final) season will be released this year. The announcement was made on Netflix’s Tudum blog, and also includes a letter to fans from the show’s director, writer, and executive producer, Hwang Dong-hyuk.

Netflix has yet to reveal any official release or plot details regarding the third season; however, Squid Game director Dong-hyuk assured fans ‘that they won’t have to wait too long for season 3.’  Said Dong-hyuk: “I don’t think it’s May, but it will come out this year. I’m working on it [and] it’s coming soon. Sooner than you’d expect”.

Netflix also shared a brief teaser which features Chul-su, the ‘boyfriend’ of Red Light, Green Light doll Young-hee; check it out HERE.

The first season of Squid Game saw the down-on-his-luck Seong Gi-Hun (played by Lee Jung-Jae) win the deadly “Squid Games,” a life-or-death series of competitions whose winner walks away with a ₩45.6 billion KRW — just under $31 million USD — and decide to use his newfound wealth in an attempt to dismantle the games. The second season’s premise sees Gi-Hun return to the mysterious island on which the games are held and attempt to convince a new batch of players to vote for the games to stop, splitting the prize pot.
