Squid Game season 3 has a release date and it’s much sooner than you think. More details on it below. 


Squid Game fans around the world have had to learn how to deal with the ridiculous levels of frustration and anticipation after season 2 of Netflix’s hit series ended on a shocking note. Personally, I’ve been itching to see what happens next and how season 3 can continue to deliver our favourite elements of the show ā€“ the games themselves ā€“ while also taking the story to a new level. So far, there has been no word on when we might see the third and final season. 

Until now! 

Netflix has now revealed that Squid Game season 3 will be released on Netflix on 27th June. With season 2 having been released on Boxing Day, it’s not too long of a wait at all. Seasons two and three were filmed at the same time and as season 2 was released, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk was already in post-production for season 3. 

Squid Game has been a huge success for Netflix. The second season quickly became the third most watched season of tv ever for the streaming service and season 1 made television history with a whopping 14 Emmy nominations. The series became the first non-English language series to be nominated for Outstanding Drama Series and  Lee Jung-jae won Outstanding Lead Actor for his role as Gi-Hun, or player 456.

Season 2 found Gi-Hun returning to the games three years after he won, to take revenge on the Front Man and those who run the games. The season introduced new, cruel games and a plethora of new characters, but instead of just delivering the same thrills, season 2 mixed things up in the end. We won’t spoil it here, but we were big fans of the whole season.

Squid Game seasons 1 and 2 are streaming on Netflix now. Season 3 will premiere 27th June.
