Season 3 of ‘The Squid Game’: everything we know

Hwang won’t sugarcoat it; compensation influenced his decision. “Although the first series was a huge global success, I honestly didn’t make much,” he says. he told the BBC in November. “So doing the second series will also help me offset the success of the first.” He added: “And I didn’t finish the story completely.”

He’s not just saying that. First he had the idea of Squid Game 15 years ago, for a two-hour film that never saw the light of day, according to the Associated Press. He later took the idea for a series to Netflix, where it really took off. After all this time, it must be satisfying to close the story properly. ‘I learned that I shouldn’t give up. If you love something and want to create something, it may not work now, but the time may come later. Or that idea could be the source of inspiration for something else,” Hwang said. AP.

These final two seasons will give Hwang the opportunity to bring the Squid Game saga to finally end (and give it a much-needed break). With season 2 already airing, its final episodes set up what is sure to be a great conclusion to the bloody Battle Royale series. This is what we know so far.

when will it Squid Game Third season premiere?

The final season will debut in 2025, but Netflix has yet to announce an official release date. He second and the third season was filmed consecutively, according to Varietywhich means the wait for the third season won’t be as long as the last.

Hwang said Variety in another interview on December 26 that “after the release of season 2, I believe we will soon announce the release date of season 3.” “I probably expect it to be released around summer or fall of next year.”

What will season 3 be about?

The bloodbath of the season 2 finale leaves some questions that will be answered in the final chapter. First, there’s Gi-hun’s failed mutiny and Jung-bae’s death. How will these losses affect Gi-hun next season? Will he be motivated to avenge his fallen friend or give up? He and the figurehead must also meet again, which means Gi-hun might finally discover that his enemy is the man who disguised himself as player 001.

talking to VarietyHwang said the question heading into season 3 ‘now is, what will he be like? What state will Gi-hun be in? And what will he choose to do? Will you continue with the mission? Will he give up or persist? And then you will meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as the third season begins. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in season 2.

Some other questions: Will Hyun-ju, who returned to the players’ barracks to look for magazines, take on the Pink Guards alone? And will she survive? Will Jun-ho’s crew ever find Squid Game Island to save Gi-hun and the other players? And what will they do with their captain? Oh, and what is the mysterious smuggling operation going on among the Pink Guards?

Hwang won’t reveal anything for now. When asked about season 3, he responded simply to Associate Press: “It’s better than season 2.”

How will it be? Squid Game end?

“The ending is something you really can’t wait for,” said Lee Jung-jae, who plays Gi-hun. Variety. “I’m looking forward to hearing what kind of interpretations viewers have.”

When Hwang announced for the first time Squid GameIn the renewal for a third season, he promised to deliver another ‘exciting ride’ and teased, ‘The fierce clash between the two worlds (of Gi-hun and the leader) will continue until the end of the series.’

Who will be in the cast?

Based on the main characters surviving at the end of Season 2, these are the ones we hope to see again in Season 3:

• Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun, Player 456
• Lee Byung-hun as the leader
• Wi Ha Joon as Hwang Jun Ho
• Yang Dong-geun as Yong-sik, player 007

• Park Sung-hoon as Hyun-ju, Player 120
• Park Gyu-young as No Eul (one of the Rose Guards)

Netflix has yet to address whether there are any new additions to the casting.

Can I see a trailer?

No trailers or first-look photos have been shared yet. The closest thing we have so far is the end credits scene from the Season 2 finale, which shows Young-hee, the “red light, green light” doll, with another giant doll. Could this mean that players will have to make another version of the game with two killer dolls watching their every move? Isn’t the original version difficult enough?
