Squid Game Season 3 Release Date: Fans of the hit Korean drama Squid Game were recently treated to a surprising revelation when Netflix Korea seemingly unveiled the release date for the highly anticipated third season. A teaser video uploaded to Netflix Korea’s official YouTube channel briefly announced the premiere date before being taken down.
The teaser featured Young-hee, the iconic robotic doll from the Red Light, Green Light game, being relocated to a new setting where she encounters a new robot named Chul-soo. The video, identical to the post-credit scene from Season 2, hinted at a new game for the upcoming installment.
The teaser, titled “Squid Game Season 3, 2025 Release,” also included a description that momentarily stated, “Watch Squid Game on Netflix on June 27.” This sparked widespread excitement and speculation among fans before the video was swiftly deleted.
Fans React to the Leak
Fans quickly took to social media to express their enthusiasm and debate whether the leak was accidental or a strategic move to generate buzz.
One fan on X wrote:
“GUYS, THIS COMMENT CLAIMING THAT SQUID GAME SEASON 3 WILL RELEASE JUNE 27… Thanks to Netflix Korea for uploading it by accident, though the video was deleted (sic).”
Another added:
“Netflix accidentally reveals that the final season of ‘SQUID GAME’ releases on June 27 (sic).”
Continuation, Not a New Season
Although many fans refer to the next installment as Squid Game Season 3, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has clarified that it’s more of a continuation of Season 2 rather than a completely new season. Initially conceptualized as a single series, the story expanded due to its global success, naturally splitting into two parts.
The upcoming episodes are expected to follow Gi-hun’s return to the game and his quest to incite rebellion, continuing the storyline from the previous season.
Leonardo DiCaprio Cameo Rumors
Adding to the speculation, South Korean media outlet OSEN reported on January 1 that Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio might make a surprise cameo in Season 3. However, Netflix quickly dismissed these claims, stating:
“We also heard about Leonardo DiCaprio’s appearance, but it’s not true.”
Despite the confusion surrounding the release date and rumors, the excitement for the next installment of Squid Game remains at an all-time high. Fans worldwide eagerly await the continuation of the gripping narrative that captivated millions.
