Since the release of Season 2 on December 26, the burning question among viewers has been whether there will be a Season 3. The shocking conclusion of Season 2 has left fans buzzing with excitement and anticipation. Amid growing curiosity, details about “Squid Game” Season 3 are gradually coming to light.
Will Season 3 Surpass Season 2?
First and foremost, “Squid Game” Season 3 has been confirmed. Director Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed strong confidence in Season 3.
In a recent interview with AP, when asked “Season two of ‘Squid Game’ has already been nominated for a Golden Globe which is a good sign. Can you say anything about season three of ‘Squid Game’?“, he confidently replied, “It’s better than season two.” This statement is not mere promotional talk but reflects his deep trust in the project. Hwang further teased, “I’m afraid to talk about it but it’s a feature film taking place 10-20 years in the future. It’s darker than ‘Squid Game’. It’s going to be quite cruel, quite sad, but at the same time quite quirky and humorous.“
Interestingly, Seasons 2 and 3 were written and filmed simultaneously. During editing, Hwang decided to split the content into two separate seasons. In an interview with Korean media, he shared, “After Episode 7, the tone shifts completely, so after much deliberation with Netflix, we decided to divide the series.”
Season 2 consists of seven episodes, and Season 3 is reportedly in post-production, also planned as a seven-episode series. The release of “Squid Game 3” is slated for the first half of next year.
Seong Gi-hun’s Resistance and Humanity
Season 2 follows Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), who re-enters the game to stop it. He embarks on a reckless resistance to protect human dignity and fight for a better world. His primary adversary is the Front Man, and their intense rivalry centers on conflicting beliefs about humanity.
Korean cultural elements remain prominent in this season, with traditional games like “Red Light, Green Light” and “Ddakji” reimagined for modern audiences, adding to the intrigue. Additionally, the expanded character arcs and new game rules are significant highlights. Critics have largely praised Season 2 for its engaging content, with many predicting it will match or even surpass the impact of Season 1.
Controversies Surrounding Season 2 and Expectations for Season 3
However, the decision to leave many questions unanswered in Season 2 and defer them to Season 3 has sparked some controversy. While the buildup of tension and immersive storytelling were lauded, some viewers felt the season played out more like a teaser for the next installment. This narrative structure has been a polarizing aspect among fans.
Nevertheless, anticipation for Season 3 is at an all-time high. The intense storyline and psychological battles of Season 2 have only amplified expectations for the next chapter. Whether Hwang Dong-hyuk can deliver a masterpiece that surpasses its predecessors remains to be seen, but the world is watching closely.
