Squid Game Season 3 Release Date Leaked & New Doll Revealed
Netflix made a small mistake that turned into big news for Squid Game fans. Their Korean YouTube channel posted a video that revealed when Season 3 is coming out. Let me tell you exactly what happened and what you can expect from the Squid Game’s final season.
Note: The release date mentioned in this article comes from a video briefly posted on Netflix Korea’s official YouTube channel on January 2, 2025.
When Is Squid Game Season 3 Coming Out?
The release date for Squid Game 3 shown in Netflix Korea’s video is June 27, 2025. This appeared in a teaser that showed up on their YouTube channel for a short time.
They took the video down pretty quickly, but not before people got screenshots of the description. Even though Netflix hasn’t made an official announcement yet, the specific date in the leak makes it seem pretty reliable.
The Story So Far and What’s Next
If you just finished Season 2, which came out on December 26, 2024, you saw all those intense new games the contestants had to survive through. (If you want to know more about each game in Season 2 and how they worked, you can check out our detailed breakdown of every game in Squid Game Season 2.
The season ended with Gi-hun going after the people running the games, plus that twist with someone (I won’t spoil) pretending to be his friend. Season 3 picks up from there, and the show’s director, Hwang Dong-hyuk, says you’ll see Gi-hun and the Front Man face off in what he calls a “fierce clash.”
Netflix has officially teased something that should make the games even more intense – a new killer doll named Chul-su. In their latest teaser, you can see this boy doll standing face-to-face with Young-hee, the original “Red Light, Green Light” robot girl. The teaser also shows three players getting ready to play “Red Light, Green Light,” suggesting the game might be even harder this time around.
How Many Episodes Will Squid Games Season 3 Have?
Although based on leaks from what we know – Season 3 is going to be shorter than what you might expect. There will be six episodes, which is less than both previous seasons. Season 1 had nine episodes, Season 2 had seven, and now Season 3 is cutting it down to six.
Getting this information through a leaked video isn’t the usual way, but at least you now have a good idea of when to expect the show’s conclusion. The shorter season and the hints about new games suggest you’re in for an intense ending to the series.
