January 2nd 2025.
Fans of Squid Game have been left reeling after the release of season 2 on Netflix, which brought new levels of horror and heartbreak. And now, just days later, viewers are already eager to know when the third and final season will be released.
Thankfully, we won't have to wait too long. The new season, consisting of seven episodes, was released on December 26th and took us on a wild ride as Seong Gi-hun returned to the deadly game seeking revenge. We were also introduced to new characters such as failed cryptocurrency influencer Myung-gi, former soldier Hyun-ju, expectant mother Jun-hee, and the shy Min-su.
So what's next for this groundbreaking drama? Well, it was actually confirmed back in July 2024, months before the release of season 2, that the show would be renewed for a third and final season. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed his excitement for the future of the show and its overwhelming success since its debut in 2021.
While we don't have an exact release date for season 3 yet, it has been rumored that the date was accidentally leaked. Before season 2 even premiered, fans knew that the third season was set to come out in 2025. But now, there are claims circulating on social media that Netflix accidentally leaked the release date for June 27 of this year. However, this has not been officially confirmed by the streaming giant.
Dong-hyuk has teased that the final season will continue the fierce clash between Gi-hun and the Front Man, and will be brought to us next year. And it's no surprise that fans are eagerly anticipating the third season, as season 2 has already shocked viewers and critics once again.
Some fans even declared that it was better than the first season. One fan wrote, "I actually enjoyed it more than season 1! Loved what we got, and the new characters were dope." Another fan added, "What a masterpiece, much better as season 1! The plot, the games....omg I'm dying to watch season 3."
In Metro's review of season 2, it was noted that the show felt even more tragic and harrowing this time around, as Gi-hun is fully aware of what he's getting himself into by re-entering the game. And yet, many of his fellow competitors still choose to continue, hoping to win the life-changing sum of money in the end.
Squid Game is available to watch on Netflix, and fans can't wait to see what the final season has in store. If you have a celebrity story or any other news, please reach out to our entertainment team by email, phone, or by visiting our Submit Stuff page. We would love to hear from you.
