Netflix has officially confirmed the release date for Squid Game Season 3, much to the excitement of fans who have been eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the dystopian survival drama. The popular South Korean series, directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, will be available to stream on June 27, 2025, marking the long-anticipated return of the deadly games.
The streaming giant shared a fresh poster for the upcoming season, depicting a masked guard dressed in pink, dragging a lifeless player in the iconic green tracksuit into a coffin adorned with a bow. This image is a callback to Season 2 and hints at the dark themes and suspense that fans can expect. Netflix India released the poster along with the caption, “Press (circle emoji) for the final round. Watch Squid Game Season 3 on June 27. #NextOnNetflix.” The poster features floral murals arranged in a circle on the floor, further alluding to the sinister game at the heart of the show.
While fans were thrilled by the announcement, some expressed skepticism due to the long gap between seasons. After waiting three years since the release of Season 2 in 2023, many were cautiously excited. One fan humorously commented, “You mean this June, right?” while another wrote, “Hype mode activated.” However, some fans referenced the accidental leak by Netflix, which prematurely revealed the release date before the platform deleted the teaser.
The announcement also confirmed that Season 3 will be the final season of the show, with the poster featuring the phrase “Prepare for the final game.” This revelation adds a sense of urgency and excitement as the storyline prepares to come to its ultimate conclusion.
Squid Game follows Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae), a man mired in debt who finds himself coerced into participating in a deadly series of children’s games in Season 1. In the second season, Gi-hun returns to the games, this time with a personal mission to dismantle the system from within, while the mysterious Frontman (played by Lee Byung-hun) presents further obstacles. The second season ended on a cliffhanger, setting the stage for Season 3.
Additionally, fans can expect the return of police officer Hwang Jun-ho (played by Wi Ha-joon), who remains determined to uncover the true identity of the game’s creators and bring the deadly operation to an end.
With the official release date now confirmed, fans can look forward to a thrilling conclusion to the survival drama that has captivated global audiences. As the tension builds, Squid Game Season 3 promises to deliver high stakes and a dramatic finale to the ruthless competition.
