Netflix has confirmed the release date for Squid Game season 3, which will be the third and final season of the popular series. It seems like both season 2 and 3 were shot back-to-back because viewers won’t have to wait another three years for the next season. According to the streaming service, it arrives this June.
More specifically, Netflix confirmed that season 3 of Squid Game will air on 27 June 2025. It’s unclear if Netflix plans to release the final season in segmented parts like many other shows in its library, though we’ll probably know more about that closer to the time. Netflix stated, “this season promises to push the limits of suspense and drama, keeping viewers glued to the action.”
Before we proceed, there will be spoilers ahead for the finale of season 2. After facing a harrowing gunfight against the game makers, protagonist Gi-hun struggles to cope with the “loss” of his comrade, who was secretly the Front Man posing as a participant in the games. Now that the Front Man is back in charge, it will be interesting to see Gi-hun’s confrontation with him in season 3 as well as the Front Man’s younger brother, who is still searching for the island via boat.
In addition to the release date, Netflix also released a new poster for season 3 of Squid Game, possibly teasing a new game.
Nothing can prepare you for the final season of Squid Game.

In related news, series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed in a previous interview with The Hollywood Reporter some of the challenges he faced while writing an ongoing story, explaining:
“Of course I felt a certain amount of pressure because I knew that there was a huge amount of anticipation out there, and honestly when I was creating Season 1. I didn’t plan in any detail that there would be a second season. However, I did have something in mind that if there were to ever be a second season, I had this idea of what story I would tell; I thought it would be the story of Gi-hun turning away from where he was at the end of Season 1 and going back into the games in order to put a stop to the game.”
