Fans of Squid Game can rejoice as Netflix has officially announced the much-anticipated third and final season of the popular Korean drama. 

Set to return on June 27, 2025, the final season will conclude the intense survival game series. 

The announcement was made during Netflix's Next on Netflix presentation, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

 

 

 

 

Squid Game remains Netflix's most-watched series, with its second season amassing an incredible 4.92 billion minutes of viewing time in a single week following its release on December 26, 2024.

The final season picks up where the second season left off. Netflix confirmed that the new episodes will follow Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he pursues his mission to end the deadly game. 

Meanwhile, The Front Man (played by Lee Byung-hun) prepares for his next move, and the remaining players face even more lethal consequences in each round. 

To hype up the release, Netflix unveiled a chilling new poster for the third season, accompanied by the tagline: "Prepare for the final game." 

The artwork teases a more brutal finale, featuring sinister silhouettes of Young-hee and her companion Cheol-su, characters first introduced in the post-credit scene of season two.

Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series creator, returns as both the writer and director for the final season. While the show was originally planned as a three-season story, Hwang hasn’t ruled out the possibility of a spinoff. 

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter during the launch of season two, he said, "When we were doing season one, I was saying there was never going to be another season. And so if the time comes, and it just so happens that I'm able to come up with a character or a different story, then maybe there might be a comeback. But I'm thinking more along the lines of a spinoff."

Fans will have to wait until June 27, 2025, to see how Squid Game wraps up its gripping story.
