Squid Game Season 2 premiered and Season 3 might be on the fast track

Squid Game is back and deadlier than ever—Season 2 finally landed on Netflix today, December 26, at 3:00 a.m. EST, bringing an explosive continuation of the global phenomenon that first dropped jaws in 2021. As of now, fans can finally see Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) stepping back into the competition.

Despite most of the original cast being… eliminated? Season 2 starts by building on Gi-hun’s newfound mission to expose and end these sinister games. And here’s the juicy part: Netflix confirmed way back in August 2024 that Season 3 was also in the works.

Filmed back-to-back with the second installment, this upcoming third (and final) chapter promises to delve even deeper into the dark themes of obsession with money and survival. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk spilled the tea both Seasons 2 and 3 were written as one, yet Netflix has not announced a release date for the final installment.

Still, 2025 is looking like prime time for another round of deadly competition and terror. December? More like Squidember! Don’t forget to binge-watch Squid Game Season 2 on Netflix.
