Netflix has released many hit shows over the years, but almost nothing has taken hold of the popular culture conversation like Squid Game. Now that fans have had a chance to binge-watch all seven episodes of season 2 over the winter holidays, they’re likely wondering when they can watch season 3. Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk gave a recent interview and mentioned a potential season 3 release window.
In an interview with Variety, Hwang said:
“At this point, anything I might say is going to be a spoiler, so I want to be cautious. But what I can say is, after Season 2 launches, I believe we will be announcing the launch date for Season 3 soon. I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year.”

Squid Game Season 2 Rotten Tomatoes Score Revealed
Dozens of critics and over a thousand audience members who watched Squid Game Season 2 shared their reviews of the show on Rotten Tomatoes.
Squid Game season 1 premiered on September 17th, 2021 and season 2 became available on December 26th, 2024. According to Forbes, critics liked season 1 better than season 2, viewers were still eager to check out the new episodes and see how this dark and deadly game would play out next. It can be challenging to deliver a second season of a hit show that every fan is content with. There are such high expectations and viewers have strong ideas about what should happen in each character arc. However, the main political message of Squid Game is still evident, and season 2 brought back several characters who fans became invested in.
If Squid Game season 3 does premiere in the summer or fall of 2025, that’s great news since fans won’t have to wait much longer to see the rest of the compelling and haunting story. Although Squid Game will always be a serious show with a thought-provoking social message, fans hoped there would be some levity in the second season. The third season will also need the same thing. While Squid Game is popular, season 3 will be the final one, which makes it even tougher to wait to see how the story wraps up. Fans are equally excited for the final seasons of Stranger Things and Squid Game, and it’s fair to say that these shows are two of the most beloved Netflix series of the past few years.
In his Variety interview, Hwang also shared the Squid Game season 3 storyline. After the Squid Game season 2 ending, fans are likely more than a little curious about what’s next. Hwang said:
“What state is Gi-hun going to be in? And what will he choose to do? Will he continue on with the mission? Is he going to give up or persist? And so you’re going to meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as we begin the third season. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in Season 2.”
