Netflix has officially confirmed the release date for Squid Game Season 3, marking the thrilling conclusion to the global phenomenon. The final season is set to premiere on June 27, 2025, bringing an end to the high-stakes dystopian saga. Directed by Hwang Dong-hyuk, the series has captivated audiences worldwide since its debut in 2021, becoming Netflix’s most-watched non-English language series of all time.
What to Expect in Season 3
The newly released poster for Season 3 hints at the intense drama ahead. It features a masked guard in pink dragging a deceased player in the iconic green jumpsuit into a coffin adorned with a bow—a chilling callback to Season 2.

Season 3 will pick up after the jaw-dropping cliffhanger of Season 2, where Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) faced betrayal by the enigmatic Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). The final season promises to deliver another adrenaline-pumping narrative as Gi-hun seeks revenge and justice against the sinister forces behind the deadly games.

Social media buzzed with reactions, with one fan commenting, “You mean this June, right?” while another exclaimed, “Hype mode activated!” The poster’s tagline, “Prepare for the final game,” confirms that this will indeed be the last season.
