Netflix accidentally reveals 'Squid Game' season 3 release date

Squid Game fans had an unexpected New Year’s treat when Netflix Korea seemingly revealed the release date for the highly anticipated third season.

A teaser video posted on the streaming platform’s official YouTube channel appeared to confirm the season's debut, sending waves of excitement across the global fanbase.

The teaser featured Young-hee, the notorious girl robot from the "Red Light, Green Light" game, being transported to a new location where she meets a new robot, Chul-soo. The scene seemed to mirror the post-credit clip from the Season 2 finale, sparking speculation about a new deadly game.

The video, titled "Squid Game Season 3 2025 Release," included a description suggesting the release date is set for June 27, 2025.

The excitement quickly turned to mixed reactions as fans debated whether the show should continue. Some believed the series should have ended after its first season, criticizing the decision to extend it further.

Others, however, were grateful for an earlier-than-expected release, expressing relief at not having to wait until December.

Netflix has not yet officially confirmed the release date. Though the video was taken down, screenshots and details had already spread across social media, keeping the excitement alive.

In addition, the introduction of the new character, Chul-Su, has fueled curiosity about how this new figure will fit into the ongoing survival game narrative.

In other news, rumors circulated suggesting that Leonardo DiCaprio might make a cameo in Season 3. However, Netflix swiftly denied the claims, confirming that the actor would not be appearing in the show.
