‘Squid Game’ To End With Season 3, Set To Return In Dec

It’s red light, green light time again. Netflix’s hit series Squid Game is set to return with its second season on 26 December, followed by a third and final season slated for 2025. This announcement marks a significant development for fans eagerly anticipating the continuation of the gripping survival drama that has captivated a global audience.

Season 2 will dive deeper into the murky waters of the game’s origins and its far-reaching implications. Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae (The Face Reader), remains the protagonist, haunted by his past victories and determined to dismantle the cruel game that dominates the series’ narrative. His journey will reintroduce familiar faces such as Lee Byung-hun (The Magnificent Seven) and Gong Yoo (Train to Busan), while new characters, portrayed by a talented ensemble including Yim Si-wan (The Attorney) and Kang Ha-neul (Love Reset), promise to enrich the storyline.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has expressed his enthusiasm for the development of the series, emphasizing that the upcoming seasons will explore new dimensions of the story and provide a satisfying conclusion to the saga. With the series’ reputation for unexpected twists and intense storytelling, the final seasons are expected to deliver a climactic end to the sprawling narrative.

The legacy of Squid Game extends beyond its plot, having set records as the most-watched series on Netflix and securing multiple Emmy wins. It’s even spawned a spin-off reality show. These accolades underscore the series’ profound impact on both audiences and critics alike, setting high expectations for its concluding chapters.

Season 2 and 3 were reportedly filmed at the same time, which means fans likely won’t have to wait as long for the thrilling conclusion. For now, the chilling, gripping survival game begins its second round on 26 December 2024.
