After successfully running two seasons, Squid Game starring Lee Jung-Jae and Lee Byung-Hun, is all set to release the third season on Netflix. The survival K-drama revolves around a game that promises to give hundreds of stacks of cash to the contestant who wins all the rounds. But at what cost? In each game, the eliminated contestants are killed.
In the first season, Lee Jung-Jae’s character Seong Gi-Hun wins, but he faces the deadly reality of the game and decides to expose it. In season 2, he tries his best but instead gets trapped in the psychological tricks of the game and the Front Man (Lee Byung-Hun). Season 3 is all set to premiere in June 2025, and the teaser is already making buzz.
Squid Game Season 3 Buzz Tops Charts
According to KBIzoom, the June second-week OTT K-Original Content Viewer Evaluation Report by Consumer Insight stated that Squid Game season 3 has topped the list of ‘series yet to be released’ buzz for two consecutive weeks with 85% of awareness and 55% intent to watch.

As per KBIzoom, the director, Hwang Dong-Hyuk, shared at a press conference, “Season 3 deals with Gi-hun, who’s fallen to rock bottom guilt-ridden over losing friends and failing to save people then rises up again.”
The director even teased that the new season will include new challenges for the contestants to face, including a high-bridge rope game, a maze-based “tag” and “hide-and-seek” game, group jump rope, a starlit labyrinth, and a new robot doll named “Cheolsu.” We are not ready for what’s coming next season.
