Yes, there will be. After the wild success of Squid Game and the long wait for season 2, it’s no surprise that a third season is already in the works. Originally, Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk had no plans for a sequel, but the immense popularity of the series changed that. While Netflix took a bit of time to come to an agreement on season 2, season 3 was written and filmed alongside the second season, so fans can expect a direct continuation of the story. It’s all set up to be the final chapter of the main series—though there may be future spin-offs down the road.
What We Know About the Release Date of Squid Game Season 3
Mark your calendars: Netflix has confirmed that Squid Game season 3 will premiere on June 27, 2025. Like the previous seasons, it looks like the entire season will be released all at once, giving fans the opportunity to binge-watch all episodes in one go. It’s a date many have been eagerly waiting for, and now the countdown can officially begin!
What Will Happen in Squid Game Season 3?
At this point, very little is known about the exact storyline, as Netflix has kept things tightly under wraps. However, considering that season 3 was filmed alongside season 2, and the major cliffhanger at the end of season 2, we can be fairly certain that the third season will pick up right where the last one left off.
Gi-hun’s rebellion has failed—just like every other attempt he made in season 2—and he will now face the consequences of his actions. According to Hwang Dong-hyuk, the protagonist will undergo a major transformation following the death of his friend. “This huge feeling of guilt and failure weighs heavily on him. How will Gi-hun continue his mission? That’s the story we’ll tell,” Hwang explained in an interview with Variety. Fans can expect Gi-hun to be a very different person in season 3. The character’s journey will take a darker turn, and he will no longer be the same person he was in season 2.
Additionally, the teaser at the end of season 2 hints that the deadly game will continue with a new twist—this time with a new doll named Chul-su. Fans can definitely expect more twists and intense gameplay as the stakes get even higher.
