Netflix has finally announced the release of the third season of 'Squid Game' and it’s closer than you think.
The games aren’t over just yet. Netflix has officially announced the release date for 'Squid Game' season three, marking the final chapter of the global phenomenon that changed television forever. Brace yourselves, because the last round begins on June 27, 2025!
After the jaw-dropping cliffhanger of season two, this highly anticipated conclusion promises even higher stakes, deeper betrayals, and an ending that will leave us speechless.

Season two left us on the edge of our seats as Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), aka Player 456, returned to the deadly tournament – this time, not to play, but to end the twisted game once and for all.
Wi Ha-jun (Jun-ho) and Lee Byung-hun (The Front Man) reprised their roles alongside an all-new cast, making the stakes even higher.
One of the biggest surprises? Netflix filmed seasons two and three back-to-back, ensuring a much shorter wait between releases. Even though fans had to endure a gruelling three-year gap between seasons one and two, the final instalment arrives just six months later, keeping the momentum at full throttle.
Since its debut in 2021, 'Squid Game' has shattered records, redefined survival dramas, and captivated audiences worldwide.
Season one became Netflix’s most-watched series ever, racking up 1.65 billion hours viewed and earning six Emmy wins.
Season two followed suit, securing its place as the second-most-watched non-English series on the platform with 1.2 billion hours viewed.
With the final season on the horizon, one question remains: who will survive the last game?
Will Seong Gi-Hun finally bring the games to an end, or will he become another pawn in their twisted design?
Whatever happens, one thing is certain: 'Squid Game' is going out with a bang.
Ready or not, the final round begins on June 27, 2025.
