Netflix’s global phenomenon Squid Game is officially returning for a third season! Following the massive success of its debut, the show’s creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and Netflix initially hesitated on continuing the series. However, overwhelming fan demand led to the development of not just one, but two more seasons.
With Season 2 already in production, Season 3 was reportedly written and filmed alongside it, which means it’s currently in post-production. This strategy will likely reduce the wait time between seasons, sparing fans another three-year gap like the one between Seasons 1 and 2.
When Will ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Premiere?
Netflix has yet to confirm an exact release date, but rumors suggest it could arrive in 2025. A leaked update on Netflix Korea’s website in early January hinted at a possible launch on June 27, 2025, though the information was quickly taken down.
Adding to the speculation, Hwang Dong-hyuk mentioned in an interview with Variety that Netflix is expected to announce the official release window soon, and fans can likely expect the season to drop in summer or fall 2025.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted that Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) will struggle with guilt and responsibility, particularly following the loss of a key ally. He described the upcoming season as a psychological deep dive into Gi-hun’s moral dilemmas as he decides how to move forward with his mission.
Additionally, the Season 2 teaser introduced a new, terrifying game featuring a menacing doll named Chul-su, suggesting that the challenges ahead will be even more dangerous and suspenseful than before.
