Hwang Dong-hyuk teases plot of his potential Squid Game spin-off

Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk disclosed that, should a Squid Game sequel be produced, its storyline might unfold over the three-year gap between Seasons 1 and 2.

At the 2025 Gotham Television Awards on June 2nd, Hwang said to IndieWire, “If I create a spin-off, it will delve into events occurring between seasons 1 and 2. There was a three-year gap between these seasons, so I’d like to explore what happened during that period.”

Additionally, Hwang shared that he started brainstorming concepts for both Seasons 2 and 3 following the success of the initial season. In his own words, “Once I completed the entire first season, I began developing ideas for both Season 2 and 3 simultaneously.

Remarks arose not long after Netflix unveiled the trailer for Season 3, slated to release on June 27, 2025. The second season launched in December 2024 and broke records as the platform’s most-watched debut week, boasting 68 million views. To this day, the first season stands as Netflix’s most popular series, with a staggering 2.2 billion viewing hours within its initial 90 days back in 2021.

As a gamer putting my thoughts into words, let me tell you this: I, Lee Jung-jae, am part of an extraordinary series where each character has depth and meaning that unfolds over time. There’s a lot to unpack with every individual on the show, and mine is no exception. So, if you haven’t already, make sure to tune in and see how our stories evolve!

As I prepare for the upcoming premiere of Season 3, I must confess, I’m feeling a bit jittery. You see, we’re getting ready to unveil this season soon, and I can hardly contain my excitement mixed with apprehension. I know many of you are eagerly waiting to find out what’s next in our story, but the truth is, we’re just as eager to see how much you’ll love it. So, I can barely wait to share this new chapter with all of you!
