“Squid Game” Season 2 Teaser Reveals Premiere Date, Series to End With Season 3
We know when Squid Game will return to Netflix…and when it will end.
Netflix’s biggest series of all time is finally returning for season two on December 26. This is a boon time for streaming, with people still home for the holidays. Squid Game executive producer, writer, and director Hwang Dong-hyuk also revealed that the series’ third season will premiere in 2025 and will be its last.
“Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-Jae), who vowed revenge at the end of season one, returns and joins the game again,” Hwang wrote in a press release detailing the series’ upcoming conclusion. “Will he succeed in getting his revenge? Front Man doesn’t seem to be an easy opponent this time, either. The fierce clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale in season three, which will be brought to you next year.”
Lee Jung-Jae has seen his career explode since the release of the Korean juggernaut series in 2021, when it burst onto the global scene and went on to become the all-time highest-ranking series in Netflix history, earning an astonishing 265.2 million views and a total watch-time of 2.2 billion hours—in its first 13 weeks of release. He has since starred in Disney+’s most recent Star Wars series, The Acolyte, playing Master Jedi Sol. He’ll be joined in season two by returning cast members Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo. Newcomers include Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri and Won Ji-an.
“I am thrilled to see the seed that was planted in creating a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story,” Hwang continued in his statement. “We’ll do our best to make sure we bring you yet another thrill ride. I hope you’re excited for what’s to come.
