Netflix has officially announced that Squid Game Season 3 will premiere on June 27, 2025. The streaming giant has released a new poster and captivating images, offering fans "a tantalizing glimpse into the fate of the surviving players."

Continuing directly from the cliffhanger of Season 2, Season 3 delves into the critical choices facing Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he navigates "overwhelming despair." Meanwhile, the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) orchestrates his next strategic move. As the stakes escalate, the surviving players find themselves facing increasingly severe consequences with every round of the deadly games, according to Netflix. "This season promises to push the limits of suspense and drama, keeping viewers glued to the action."

"Gone is the rainbow-hued track of Season 2’s six-legged pentathlon; in its place, a vividly swirling flower-pattern floor ominously foreshadows the cutthroat finale to come," Netflix stated. "The sinister silhouettes of Young-hee and her companion Cheol-su — first hinted in last season’s post-credit scene — suggest that even more brutal games lie ahead."
