The global phenomenon Squid Game is set to return with its third and final season in 2025. Fans are eagerly awaiting the continuation of Seong Gi-hun’s journey, and recent reports suggest we might see the next installment sooner than expected. Let’s dive into the details, rumors, and what creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed so far.
Leaked Release Date
While Netflix officially announced that Squid Game Season 3 would premiere in 2025, a now-deleted video from Netflix Korea hinted at a specific date: June 27, 2025. This would mark a quick turnaround compared to the three-year gap between seasons one and two.
The Creator’s Vision
Hwang Dong-hyuk has clarified that Seasons 2 and 3 were envisioned as a single, extended storyline. In a recent interview, he explained:
“I originally envisioned it as a single series. Both seasons two and three are part of one story arc. However, the plot became too long to contain in one season, so we split it into two.”
This means that Season 3 will resolve many of the cliffhangers left in Season 2, offering closure to fans.
What to Expect in Season 3
- Seong Gi-hun’s continued journey to infiltrate and stop the deadly games.
- The emotional weight of Gi-hun’s failures and his transition into a new phase of his character arc.
- Action-packed sequences, as hinted at by the creator in interviews with Variety and Entertainment Weekly.
Why the Quick Turnaround?
Netflix appears to be spacing out its blockbuster releases strategically. With Squid Game Season 3 expected mid-year, the second half of 2025 will focus on the final season of Stranger Things and Season 2 of Wednesday. This scheduling ensures consistent high-profile content throughout the year.
