While Squid Game season 2 has just hit screens, Netflix may have accidentally revealed the release date for the third season of its flagship series. This unexpected slip has sparked intense discussions and wild speculations among fans.
A Surprising Leak for Season 3’s Release Date
On January 3, a temporary page was reportedly posted on Netflix’s official South Korean website, showing the potential release date for Squid Game season 3: June 27, 2025. While the page was quickly taken down, some sharp-eyed users managed to capture the information and spread it across social media. The leak has left fans buzzing with excitement, and many are now questioning its legitimacy.
Although Netflix has yet to confirm or deny the leaked date, the incident has fueled a range of theories. Some believe it was simply a human error or a technical glitch that exposed a placeholder date. Others, more skeptical, suspect it might be a clever marketing tactic designed to keep the conversation going and stir up online speculation about the show’s future.
One of the biggest concerns surrounding this release date is its proximity. Given that it took three years between season 1 and season 2, fans are having a hard time imagining that season 3 could be ready just six months after season 2. However, there’s a possibility that this quick turnaround might make sense, especially if the third season is viewed more as a part 2 of season 2, a theory that would explain a faster production schedule.
What to Expect from Squid Game Season 3?
In a December 2024 interview with Variety, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk shared that Netflix would soon announce the official release date for season 3, though he was careful not to reveal too much:
“At this point, anything I could say would be a spoiler, so I want to be careful. But what I can say is that after the release of season 2, I think we’ll be announcing the launch date for season 3 soon. I expect it to come out sometime in summer or fall 2025.”
Even without an official release date, Dong-hyuk dropped a few hints about the direction the third season might take. Fans can expect Gi-hun, the central character, to undergo significant changes. After losing everything—including his best friend—and failing in his previous attempts, his journey will take a darker turn:
“As for the story of season 3, with Gi-hun having lost everything, including his best friend, and all his efforts failing, it’s now about where he goes from here. What will Gi-hun’s state of mind be? What will he choose to do? Will he continue his mission? Will he give up, or will he push forward? So, in the beginning of season 3, you’ll meet Gi-hun at a very crucial crossroads. He won’t be the same man he was in season 2.”
With season 2’s cliffhanger still fresh in fans’ minds, the anticipation for what comes next is palpable. Will Gi-hun find redemption, or will the darker forces at play pull him further into the game?
As we await confirmation from Netflix, the speculation around season 3 is bound to continue. For now, fans can enjoy season 2, available on Netflix, while eagerly awaiting the next chapter of this global sensation.
