Everything We Know About ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Coming to Netflix in 2025
After a thrilling conclusion to Squid Game Season 2, fans eagerly anticipate the third and final season of the Netflix sensation, expected to arrive in 2025. Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk promises an epic ending to this gripping saga, calling it a “thrill ride.” So, what can we expect from the highly anticipated season?
Squid Game has captured global attention, setting viewership records with its debut season and earning critical acclaim for its follow-up. The South Korean survival drama follows a group of financially struggling individuals chosen by a mysterious organization to participate in deadly versions of children’s games on a secret island. The winner walks away with a massive cash prize, but the losers pay the ultimate price: death.
In Season 1, Seong Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae) emerges as the winner, taking home billions. However, overwhelmed with guilt, he views the money as blood-stained and chooses to remain in Seoul rather than reunite with his family. His goal: to end the games for good.
What Happened in Squid Game Season 2?
Warning: Spoilers ahead!
In Season 2, Gi-Hun teams up with underground groups to track down The Recruiter (Gong Yoo), the enigmatic man who invites players to the games. This quest eventually leads him back into the competition, where he discovers that his long-time gambling friend, Jung-Bae (Lee Seo-hwan), is also a contestant. Meanwhile, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) sheds his mask and joins the game as Player 001.
Throughout the deadly games, Gi-Hun faces challenges in familiar competitions like Red Light, Green Light and Mingle. In the season finale, Gi-Hun leads a rebellion against the game’s organizers, but the contestants are vastly outnumbered. Tragically, Gi-Hun’s friend Jung-Bae is killed by the Front Man in retribution for his treason.
Meanwhile, police officer Hwang Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon) continues searching for the game’s island and his missing brother, only to come up empty-handed. The season ends with the hunt for the island still unresolved.
