‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Lands a Release Date and It’s Approaching Soon

Netflix has revealed that Squid Game season 3 will arrive June 27, just six months after the dramatic season 2 finale. Creator Hwang Dong-Hyuk hinted that the story was written and filmed in such a way that the two seasons wouldn’t be far apart—indeed, we’re looking at one of the shortest turnarounds in Netflix history. This time, the action picks up right after season 2’s major cliffhanger, with the remaining contestants tackling the final rounds of twisted challenges.

Season 2, which dropped on Christmas Day, has already pulled in huge viewership numbers, though it still trails the original season’s massive 2.2 billion hours streamed. While it’s tough to say if season 3 can smash new records in such a tight window, the show is already a top player on the platform. Fans can expect about seven episodes, reflecting how Hwang initially split his big script after the seventh chapter.

The upcoming batch is rumored to bring back the covert villain and survivors from season 2, likely testing them in even deadlier games. Netflix is banking on viewers sticking around to see how the final chapters resolve. Between its global popularity and summer release, Squid Game season 3 is poised to dominate streaming charts once again.
