Squid Game's final season, Season 3, is scheduled to premiere on June 27, 2025, on Netflix. It is one of the most-loved series, and fans have been awaiting the final season as soon as season 2 ended. The craze for the series is always at the top. This season is expected to conclude the show's main storyline, although creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted at possible spin-offs and other projects in the Squid Game universe. Now, on May 5, the makers finally revealed the teaser release date of Squid Game Season 3.
Squid Game Season 3 teaser release date
On May 5, Netflix shared that the teaser of Squid Game Final Season, aka Season 3, will be released tomorrow, May 6. The teaser will be available on Netflix's YouTube and Instagram accounts. The anticipation for the teaser is real as fans started commenting as soon as the update was shared.
One fan said, "Please let everyone live." Another commented, "Excited to watch." Others also expressed their excitement as they cannot wait for the new season.
The video shared by Netflix shows Lee Jung-jae, Wi Ha-jun, and other Squid Game actors showing the teaser release date with the iconic Squid Game signs on the card. They captioned the post, "The players have assembled. The teaser for the final season of the Squid Game drops tomorrow."
What to expect from Squid Game 3?
If you have watched Squid Game Season 2, you must have noticed that the makers have teased a season 3. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk revealed that Seong Gi-hun will be a very different person in the next season. In an interview with Variety, Hwang Dong-hyuk shared, “Gi-hun has lost everything, including his best friend, and all of his attempts have failed. Now, the question is, what kind of person will he be? What will his state be like? What will he choose to do? Will he continue his mission? Will he give up or persist? Gi-hun will be at a critical crossroads when Season 3 begins. He won’t be the same man he was in Season 2.”
Is Gong-yoo returning to Squid Game 3?
Gong-yoo, who played the role of the salesman, was shown died in season 2 as he took a headshot. However, a large part of social media is convinced that Gong-yoo is returning for the upcoming season. Why do they think so? In Squid Game season 2 episode 2, at 3.10 minutes, Gong Yoo was seen opening his eyes for a very brief moment after he took a headshot. It might be a creative mistake but also can be a hint of a comeback. Time will only tell!
BTS' V aka Kim Taehyung will be a part of Squid Game 3?
Kim Taehyung, aka V from the South Korean boy band BTS, joining the cast of season 3 was doing the rounds on social media earlier. In an earlier interview with BuzzFeed UK, Squid Game stars Lee Jung-jae and Wi Ha-jun were directly asked about the possibility of V joining the cast. Giving a smile, Jung-jae said, “I can’t say anything about that," while Ha-joon teased with “No comment" answer.
Meanwhile, the OTTplay review of Squid Game 2 reads, "Hwang Dong-hyuk still has the magic in him, and you see the sparks fly multiple times throughout, but they are fading because of the fan service expectations from the show. Squid Game needs its unapologetic, non-conforming soul back, where stories are being told rather than making shock-value sequences."
