Netflix’s global hit series Squid Game is set to return in 2025 with its highly anticipated third and final season. Following the dramatic events of season two, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed that this season will wrap up the story of Seong Gi-hun and his battle to dismantle the sinister organization behind the deadly competition.
Season two ended on a tragic cliffhanger as Gi-hun’s rebellion against the games failed, with betrayals from key allies, including Hwang In-ho, the games’ leader who infiltrated the players as Player 001. The final season will pick up directly from this point, showcasing the second half of the same deadly competition. Gi-hun and his remaining allies will have one last chance to destroy the games, even as they navigate treachery outside the island.
Season three promises a chilling new game, featuring a giant doll named Cheol-su, teased in the post-credits scene of season two. This eerie addition joins the unforgettable lineup of high-stakes challenges that have captivated fans worldwide.
Key cast members returning include Lee Jung-Jae as Seong Gi-hun and Lee Byung-hun as Hwang In-ho. Other survivors from season two, such as Dae-ho (Kang Ha-neul) and Kim Jun-hee (Jo Yu-ri), will also reprise their roles.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk announced that this season will conclude the story. “The story I’m capable of telling through Gi-hun ends here,” Hwang said, expressing his intent to move on from the series.
As Netflix wraps up this cultural phenomenon, Squid Game season 3 promises an emotional and thrilling conclusion to the record-breaking saga.
