Squid Game is coming to an end.

As a devoted cinephile, I’m thrilled to share that Netflix has given us a sneak peek into their 2025 lineup, revealing that the much-anticipated third season of their most iconic series ever will drop later this year! This exciting news comes only months following the premiere of Squid Game‘s second season.

The positive aspect is that we have more of Squid Game coming up. Unfortunately, for those eagerly waiting, Season 3 won’t simply carry on the narrative; instead, it will bring the story to an end.

Alongside the announcement, Netflix revealed some exclusive sneak peeks from the upcoming episodes, including these descriptions: (or) With the announcement, Netflix shared a few preliminary images from the last episodes together with the following descriptions:

The vibrant, rainbow-colored track of the six-legged pentathlon from Season 2 is now replaced by a menacing swirling flower design on the floor, hinting ominously at the intense competition to follow. The mysterious figures of Young-hee and her partner Cheol-su, subtly introduced in the post-credit scene last season, seem to suggest that the games will become even more ruthless in the future.

In simple terms, Hwang Dong-hyuk’s series made a significant global impact during its debut season, breaking records as the most-streamed show on Netflix. The recently released second season has followed suit, with impressive viewership numbers, reaching 68 million viewers in its premiere week, making it the third most-watched TV season on Netflix so far.

Here is how Netflix describes the plot of Squid Game’s final season:

Starting from where the second installment ended, Season 3 delves into the decisions that Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) must make amidst crushing despair. As the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) strategizes his next step, the remaining players see their choices leading to progressively severe outcomes in each round of these lethal games. This season is expected to test the boundaries of tension and drama, ensuring viewers can’t look away from the unfolding events.

Squid Game: Season 3 will premiere on Netflix on June 27.
