As a die-hard fan who has binged-watched Squid Game multiple times and even lost count of how many red suits I own, the news about season 2 coming to Netflix this December and the series already being renewed for a third and final season in 2025 is like winning my very own game.
The Squid Game season 2 release date is set at Netflix!
For several months, we’ve been anticipating the release of Squid Game season 2 on Netflix during December. The lead actor, Lee Jung-jae (who plays Seong Gi-hun in the most-watched Netflix series ever), has confirmed that the next season will debut in December.
It’s no surprise that Squid Game season 2 is set for a Christmas release on Netflix. In fact, it’s become a tradition for Netflix to unveil a fresh series around this time of year. Shows like Bridgerton, Emily in Paris, You, The Witcher, and many others have been premiered during the holiday season. So, don’t be surprised if you see Squid Game season 2 on your screen as well!
It’s fair to assume that the second season of Squid Game will garner even greater popularity than other shows, given that over 2.2 billion viewing hours have been recorded for it on Netflix as of July 28, surpassing the initial 1.6 billion hours watched during its first few weeks on the platform.
Netflix also shared the synopsis for the new season in the press release:
Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organization proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.
For the upcoming season, Jung-jae will be reunited with actors Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo, as per the announcement for season 2 of the series. Additionally, several new faces are set to join “Squid Game” in its second season (and potentially a third if they make it through!), including Park Gyu-young, Kang Ha-neul, Lee Jin-uk, Yim Si-wan, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, and more.
You’d think the release date would be the big news of the day for Squid Game, but it’s not.
Squid Game renewed for third and final season
As reported by Netflix, the hit show “Squid Game” is indeed set for a third season. However, here’s a piece of disappointing news for fans: The third season will serve as the last chapter of the Netflix Original Series.
Netflix additionally revealed a message penned by Hwang Dong-hyuk, indicating that another season is on its way for the Squid Game series, marking the conclusion to the tale.
In June, it was reported by OSEN (a South Korean outlet) that the filming for seasons 2 and 3 had already been wrapped up. This was one of the earliest pieces of news suggesting both seasons were in production and completed. As it turned out, this report proved to be accurate.
According to the recent announcement in their press release, Netflix has indeed planned to release the third season of Squid Game in 2025. This is certainly exciting news as we haven’t seen a new season since the initial release back in 2021, making us eagerly await another three years for its return.
Furthermore, this information is particularly thrilling as it means that three of Netflix’s most successful series – Squid Game, Stranger Things, and Wednesday – will all release new seasons in the year 2025. During their Q2 earnings call with Ted Sarandos, Netflix officially announced that Stranger Things and Wednesday will return for new episodes next year.
As a dedicated fan of both Squid Game and Stranger Things, I can hardly contain my excitement for what lies ahead in the coming year! Having grown up watching shows like these that blend suspenseful storytelling with captivating characters, I’ve come to appreciate the unique ways they transport me into another world. The anticipation of witnessing how these series will conclude is almost as thrilling as experiencing their earlier seasons for the first time. With each episode, I eagerly await the unexpected twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat, and I can’t help but wonder what final moments these beloved shows have in store for us fans. The thought of bidding farewell to these characters and their extraordinary adventures fills me with a bittersweet nostalgia, but I know that the journey will be worth it. So here’s to an unforgettable year filled with heart-stopping suspense and emotional rollercoasters as we bid adieu to Squid Game and Stranger Things!
As an excited fan, let me remind us not to jump the gun just yet. There’s a whole lineup of fresh Netflix series on the horizon this year, culminating with “Squid Game” season 2 on December 26th. While it seems like we have a long wait ahead, I can’t wait for the trailers and all the exciting details that will be unveiled along the way!
Keep an eye out for updates on the second season of Squid Game. In the meantime, consider revisiting the initial season available on Netflix. Given it’s been three years since its release!
