We’ve just hit the jackpot of Squid Game news, and it’s juicier than a watermelon in summer!
Remember way back in 2021 when we were all stuck at home and suddenly found ourselves screaming at the TV, “Don’t trust the cookie shapes!”? Well, that was the magic of Squid Game, the Netflix phenomenon that turned playground games into life-or-death situations. After leaving us hanging for what felt like 456 years, the Squid Game gods have smiled upon us. Season 2 is officially coming our way! 🎉 And if that wasn’t enough to make you dive into a pile of Dalgona candy, they’ve just dropped the bombshell that there will be a Season 3 too!
The countdown has begun! Mark your calendars, set your alarms, and prepare to binge-watch your holiday season away because Season 2 of Squid Game is set to premiere on December 26, 2024. Yep, that’s right, the day after Christmas! Just when you thought you’d recovered from the festive food coma, you’ll be back on the couch, clutching your remote like your life depends on it.
But wait, there’s more! The mastermind behind this rollercoaster of a show, Hwang Dong-hyuk (a.k.a. the guy who made us all question our childhood games), has penned a letter to fans that’s almost as thrilling as the show itself. In his letter, Hwang dropped the news that the third and final season will hit our screens in 2025. Yes, friends, there’s light at the end of this twisty, turny tunnel!
Hwang reminisced about how surreal it was to step back into the twisted world of Squid Game. “I remember thinking, ‘Wow, I’m really back in the land of creepy dolls and masked weirdos!’” he said (okay, maybe I paraphrased a bit). He then hinted at what’s to come: Seong Gi-hun, our favorite underdog who’s got more lives than a cat, is returning with a serious grudge. He’s out for revenge, and this time, it’s personal. And just when you thought the Front Man couldn’t get any scarier, he’s back too, looking like he’s been hitting the gym and the evil mastermind classes.
As if that wasn’t enough to make you start practicing your Red Light, Green Light skills, Hwang wrapped up his letter with a promise that they’re going all out for the final season. “We’re planting seeds and growing some serious plot twists,” he teased. “It’s going to be a thrill ride, so buckle up!” (No word yet on whether we’ll need to sign a waiver.)
And if you’re wondering what Season 2 has in store, here’s the official scoop: Three years after winning the bloodiest game of tag ever, Player 456 (a.k.a. Seong Gi-hun) is on a mission to track down the shadowy figures behind the whole deadly mess. He’s using his winnings to fund his revenge tour, starting with that slick-suited guy who plays ddakji in the subway. But let’s be real, nothing in the world of Squid Game is ever that easy. To take down the game, Gi-hun’s gotta jump back into it—and this time, the stakes are even higher.
We’ve got two more seasons to obsess over, theorize about, and generally lose our minds over. Get ready for more twists, more terror, and more reasons to never look at children’s games the same way again!
