Everything We Know About ‘Squid Game’ Season 3

When does Squid Game season three come out? Season two and three were filmed in tandem, so we won’t have to wait too long for the final episodes. On December 26, 2024, Netflix announced that the third and final series will, in fact, debut in 2025.

According to the show’s creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, new episodes may air even sooner than you think. “I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year,” he said in an interview with Variety, which was also published on December 26, 2024.

Yes, it’s the final season. In a previous letter announcing the season two premiere date, Hwang revealed that his story concludes with season three. “I am thrilled to see the seed that was planted in creating a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story,” Hwang wrote. “We’ll do our best to make sure we bring you yet another thrill ride.”

What’s going to happen to the surviving rebels and players? Hwang Dong-hyuk told Variety that “the hidden clip” during the finale’s credits will “give you a slight hint as to where Season 3 might take you.”

In that clip, a few players in green track suits approach the “Red Light, Green Light” mechanical girl doll. Only this time, the not-so-little girl is now facing a giant mechanical boy. Suddenly, the red light turns green. Hmmm….

With so many players dead ahead of schedule, could new players come in to take their place? If so, will new players battle the remaining group for their spots? Or, perhaps the surviving players will simply have to re-do the games? I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
