Squid Game Season 3 Official Teaser Set to Drop This Monday
With the final run set for next month, a new Netflix promo announced that the official teaser for Squid Game Season 3 will drop on Monday.
With the global phenomenon set to have a major presence at the end of this month during Netflix Tudum 2025 and with the third and final season set to hit streaming screens on June 27th, fans of director, writer, and executive producer Hwang Dong-hyuk's Lee Jung-jae-starring Squid Game might want to keep a track of social media this Monday, May 5th. In a mini-promo that was released earlier today, cast members from the series put out the word that the official teaser will drop tomorrow.
Here's a look at what went out regarding tomorrow's big drop, followed by a look back at some previous Season 3 intel:
And here's a look at a special message from Hwang Dong-hyuk regarding the third and final season:
During a mid-credit scene from the second season finale, a trio of players makes their way to another room for the next game. Waiting for them is Young-hee (the giant "Red Light, Green Light" doll/robot) – and next to her, dressed in green, is a younger boy doll/robot by the name of Cheol-su. Just before the scene ends, a flashing red light and a flashing green light go off. We're just going to assume that's not a good sign…
Squid Game Creator Confirms David Fincher Working on Spinoff Project
Will the "Squid Game" universe be coming to an end with Season 3 in 2025? Based on reporting in late October, it looked like the franchise would be living on in a very interesting way. Reportedly, David Fincher (Fight Club, Mindhunter) is looking to develop an English-language series spinoff (not a reboot) that would be set in the same universe as the original series but take place in the U.S. With no one offering a confirmation, the reports ended up being just that – at least, until now.
Speaking with The Wrap, Hwang was asked about the franchise's future and where it could possibly go. "I know Netflix has a plan. They are not going to throw this idea away," Hwang responded. From there, the article continued by adding, "He [Hwang] noted that David Fincher is developing an English-language version of the series (as well as the second season of Squid Game: The Challenge). "Maybe I'll be in one of those projects as an advisor or co-creator. Who knows?" Hwang shared (the series creator is not currently involved directly in either project). "But Season 3 is not going to be the end of the 'Squid Game' universe."
When the series returns, it will have been three years since "Player 456" won the game – yet he remains determined to find those behind it and put an end to their vicious sport once and for all. Using his fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) starts with the most obvious of places: looking 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's going to need to re-enter the game.
