Fans won’t have to wait long. After enduring a three-year gap between seasons, Squid Game enthusiasts can celebrate. Netflix has officially announced the release of a third and final batch of episodes in 2025. Alongside the excitement of continuing the journey, viewers were assured that the wait between seasons would be less than 365 days. However, the platform had kept the exact timeframe a mystery, hinting at a return in December, a time that proved successful for Squid Game season 2.
Nevertheless, a slip-up by Netflix Korea on YouTube has revealed the actual release date. While the creator recently expressed hope for a return next fall, a teaser uploaded online disclosed the date of June 27. The video has since been removed, suggesting a possible mistake led to this leak. Netflix has yet to comment on the matter, neither confirming nor denying this date, which aligns with the creator’s speculation of a summer 2025 finale for Gi-hun's adventures.
Unlike season 1, which could have been a limited series, this new set of episodes leaves many questions unanswered. With a cliffhanger that feels more like a pause before a second part, it’s hard to imagine Netflix making fans wait over a year without causing frustration. Six months seems a more reasonable time frame for fans to speculate on what comes next. The situation is tense for Gi-hun as he returns to the arena seeking revenge against the organizers of the sadistic games, unaware that a mole is among them. Officially, we should mark our calendars for 2025, likely in June, as Netflix may be prompted to confirm the date sooner due to this premature leak.
