Squid Game Season 3 Trailer and Release Date Revealed

Squid Game returns for one last round. Netflix confirms the third and final season of its global hit drops on June 27, 2025. The streamer also released a teaser trailer and new images offering a first look at the upcoming episodes.

What Season 3 Is About

Season 3 of Squid Game picks up immediately after Season 2’s ending, where Gi-hun’s attempted revolt ends in disaster. Now at his lowest, Gi-hun is dragged back into the competition. He’ll face deadlier rounds, harder choices, and escalating consequences.

Front Man (In-ho) resumes his role hosting the games for the returning VIPs. His brother, Jun-ho, continues searching for the island, unaware there’s a traitor close by. Gi-hun’s spirit will be pushed further than ever before.

Footage Breakdown

The new teaser shows Gi-hun waking up in the dorm, defeated but alive. The players return, sides are drawn, and the VIPs settle in to watch. The trailer builds to a sudden noise that signals the start of the final games.

What Happened in Season 2

Gi-hun tried to organize a rebellion. It almost worked—until Front Man, disguised as Player 001, crushed the uprising and killed Gi-hun’s best friend Jung-bae. Gi-hun may not yet know who betrayed him, but the fallout fuels what’s to come in Season 3.

Hwang Dong-hyuk Returns

Director Hwang Dong-hyuk returns to lead the final season. He made Emmy history with Season 1 and now wraps the series he created. In his note to fans, he promised the final confrontation between Gi-hun and Front Man will define the story’s end.

“I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season,” he wrote. “The fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man’s] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.”
