It is time for the third and final season of Squid Game, Netflix's dystopian thriller. The South Korean survival thriller television series, created for television by South Korean writer and television producer Hwang Dong-hyuk, has locked its release date.
Netflix will stream Squid Game Season 3 from June 27, 2025.
Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim, Jo Yu-ri, Lee David, and Roh Jae-won have been named the main star cast.
How did the first two parts perform?:
Squid Game Season 1 had clocked 265.2 million views, which in other words is 2.2 billion hours viewed. It remains at the top of Netflix's top 10 most popular shows of all time.
The second season of the series was the top show in all 93 countries where Netflix was available in 2024. It became the first series to debut at No. 1 in those many countries simultaneously.
Will the third season garner love?
Compared to the first season, Squid Game Season 2 garnered less-than flattering reviews. "While Season 2 still holds a Certified Fresh rating of 84%, it received mixed reviews from fans, with only a 63% approval rating," wrote Comic Book Resources. Season 3 will find enormous traction in terms of numbers. But its critical acclaim is not a done deal.
