When does The Squid Game Season 3 premiere? Official trailer for The Squid Game 3

Get ready to re-enter the terrifying and addictive world of The Squid Game, because season three is on its way to Netflix.

Recapping the first season:

In the first season, we delve into the story of Gi-hun, a man desperate for money who finds himself involved in a mysterious deadly game along with hundreds of other people in the same situation. The games, sadistic versions of childhood games, test his physical, mental and moral strength, with the reward of a multimillion-dollar prize for the sole survivor.

Throughout the season, we witness the dehumanization of the participants, the fight for survival, and the complex relationships that form between them. The series shocked us with its social criticism, its graphic violence and its unexpected script twists, becoming a global phenomenon.

The second season, expected in December 2024, promises even more adrenaline and surprises. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed that Gi-hun will return and that the plot will focus on uncovering the secrets behind the organization that runs the games.

We can also expect new characters, more exciting games and further development of the social themes that made the first season so successful.

And season 3?

Although Netflix has not officially confirmed the existence of a third season, the clues left by the end of the second season and the director’s statements give us reasons to be optimistic.

In a recent interview, Hwang Dong-hyuk mentioned that he has ideas for a third season, but that everything will depend on the success of the second.

Likewise, the open ending of the second season leaves many questions unresolved, which suggests that the story still has a lot to offer.

When does season 3 premiere?

It’s too early to know for sure.

If Netflix decides to move forward with the third season, we likely won’t see it until late 2025 or early 2026.
