Squid Game Season 2 Set for December 26th; Final Season Set for 2025

Series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game Season 2 arrives on December 26th - with a third and final season set for 2025.

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 (Lee Jung-jae) 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. That's the overview for the second season of director, writer & executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's Squid Game – and now we have some big news to pass along about when the "Games" will return. In the date announcement teaser above, we learn that the series will be back for Season 2 on December 26th. But the even bigger news is that Squid Game will be back in 2025 for a third and final season – which Hwang Dong-hyuk addressed in a letter to fans.
