‘Squid Game’ Season 3: What We Know About Release Date and Cast So Far

If you’ve already finished all the episodes of Squid Game Season 2, you’re in luck—you don’t have to wait much longer before Season 3 drops.

Prepare your Dalgona cookies for your next streaming night because Netflix has just announced that Season 3 of Squid Game will be coming out in 2025. This news is exciting, considering Season 2 only took three years to be released after the first season.

The announcement was made on January 1 through a teaser on Netflix’s X account. The teaser video unveils a new character named Chul-su. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed that Chul-su is the boyfriend of Young-hee, the “red light, green light” doll.

 “I wrote Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back,” Dong-hyuk told The Hollywood Reporter. “We filmed them back-to-back, and it’s currently in post.”

Following the huge success of Season 2, which premiered on December 26, Season 3 is highly anticipated. Season 2 of Squid Game garnered a remarkable 12.6 million views within the first eleven days of its release, making it the most-viewed show on Netflix within that timeframe.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.

Season 3 will resume Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae)’s pursuit to take down the Front Man and unveil his true identity. 

In Season 2, Gi-hun returns to the games, but he’s focused on his adversary rather than the billions of dollars he could win. He doesn’t know that the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) is undercover as Player 001 and pretending to be Young-il. Gi-hun and Young-il become friends throughout the games and even work together. However, their close relationship doesn’t last long. In the finale, Young-il assumes the role of Front Man again and kills Gi-hun’s friend, Park Jung-bae (Lee Seo-hwan).

SQUID GAME 205 ONE MORE GAME!

No specific date has been announced yet for Season 3. However, it will most likely drop around June 27, 2025, since that date was written in a now-deleted video on the Netflix Korea YouTube page.

Gi-hun and the gang will likely return for the next season, along with several of the surviving players from Season 2. Here’s who you can expect to see.

  • Lee Jung-jae (Seong Gi-hun)
  • Lee Byung-hun (Front Man)
  • Park Gyu-young (No-eul)
  • Wi Ha-junto (Hwang Jun-ho)
  • Yim Si-wan (Myung-gi, Player 333)
