Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk and Emmy winner Lee Jung-jae are back for more death-defying games and nefariously masked villains as the series returns after a three-year absence.

While Netflix has established that season 3 of Squid Game is coming in 2025 in multiple promos for its content in the coming year, they may have accidentally let the exact date slip. Netflix Korea briefly had a video go live that didn’t just have the 2025 release date,

Speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, Hwang allowed that Squid Game ‘s final third will focus on the two characters you’d most expect: Gi-hun, of course, as well as Lee Byung-hun’s Front Man. The latter slithered his way into the game as Player 001 and at times almost seemed to be sympathetic to Gi-hun’s desire to tear down the competition once and for all.

We waited three whole years for more Squid Game, and just like that, we're done with season 2's seven episodes, and now we're waiting again. What gives! Well, there's good news; this is not going to be a Stranger Things situation.
