While Netflix has established that season 3 of Squid Game is coming in 2025 in multiple promos for its content in the coming year, they may have accidentally let the exact date slip.

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk confirmed Squid Game Season 3 will be released this year, sooner than expected. Season 2's nomination for a Golden Globe raised eyebrows due to early access for voters. Dong-hyuk worked on Seasons 2 and 3 simultaneously, teasing that Season 3 will pick up from a Season 2 cliffhanger.

Season 3 of Squid Game could emerge as quickly as a green light turns red in the dangerous games. According to creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's recent teasers, season 3 could premiere in the summer or fall of 2025.
