Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix on June 27, 2025, the streamer has announced.
Netflix released a new poster and images of the third and final season of its smash hit show, revealing “a tantalizing glimpse into the fate of the surviving players.”
Picking up where Season 2 left off, Season 3 explores the choices Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) will make amid “overwhelming despair.” As the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) plots his next move, the surviving players find their decisions leading to increasingly dire consequences with each round of the deadly games, Netflix said. “This season promises to push the limits of suspense and drama, keeping viewers glued to the action.”
The newly revealed launch poster shows a pink guard dragging a bloodied contestant toward a coffin wrapped in a pink ribbon. “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 said. “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.”
Squid Game Season 2 is the third most-watched season on Netflix ever, with 68 million views upon its debut — breaking records for the most views in a premiere week — and ranking #1 in the Top 10 TV Series (Non-English) list across 92 countries.
