Squid Game is back, more intense and deadlier than ever. If you’ve finished Season 2, you’re probably counting down the days until Squid Game Season 3 arrives on Netflix.
After the shocking twists and emotional moments of Season 2, fans are eager to find out what’s next in the dangerous world of Squid Game. The highly anticipated third and final season has everyone asking: When will it premiere?
Here’s everything we know about the highly anticipated next chapter of this thrilling South Korean drama.
The Story So Far
Season 2 brought back Seong Gi-hun (Player 456), who decided to re-enter the deadly games years after winning the 45.6 billion won prize. This time, Gi-hun was determined to take down the operation from the inside.
With Detective Hwang Jun-ho by his side, he set out to expose the Front Man and dismantle Squid Game.
But things didn’t go as planned.
The rebellion at the end of Season 2 failed when the rebels ran out of ammunition and were overpowered. To make matters worse, Gi-hun’s closest ally, Park Jung-bae, tragically died. His death left fans heartbroken and set the stage for a dramatic final season.
When Is Squid Game Season 3 Coming Out?
The release date for Squid Game Season 3 hasn’t been officially announced yet. However, series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk hinted that it might premiere in the summer or fall of 2025.
This timeline would allow the show to qualify for the 2026 Emmy Awards. Fans can expect Netflix to confirm the release date soon, as filming for the final season is already complete.
What to Expect in Season 3
Season 3 will pick up right after the chaotic events of the Season 2 finale. Gi-hun is expected to continue his mission to bring down the Squid Game. The Front Man, who has been manipulating events behind the scenes, will play a bigger role in the final season.
The mid-credits scene in Season 2 revealed that the games are still ongoing. A new variation of “Red Light, Green Light” and even deadlier challenges are waiting for the players. This time, the clash between Gi-hun and the Front Man will be fiercer than ever.
