An Update On The Surprisingly Close ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Release Date
In a shocking turn of events, Netflix and creator Hwang Dong-hyuk have announced that the highly anticipated third season of “Squid Game” is much closer than initially thought. In fact, fans can expect a significantly reduced wait time between seasons.
As previously reported, a 2025 release window was given for the new season, with some speculation suggesting a full year gap. However, in a recent statement, Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed that this is not the case. According to the creator, production on “Squid Game” season 3 will not be halted, allowing for a much faster turnaround than initially expected.
When asked about the release date by Variety, Hwang Dong-hyuk hinted at an incredibly short wait time. While he was cautious in his wording, stating that anything he says may be a spoiler, he did confirm that the launch date announcement is imminent, and even mentioned a potential summer or fall 2024 release.
To put this into perspective, an early summer release would be just six months away, while a late-fall launch would be roughly 11 months from now. Taking the middle ground, it’s possible to assume a release window of around 8-9 months.
What does this mean for fans of the show? Essentially, no more lengthy waits between seasons. The second and third installments are being treated as one long, continuous narrative, rather than separate, self-contained storylines. This approach has led to some criticism about pacing, but it’s clear that the creators are committed to delivering new episodes in a timely manner.
The season finale of “Squid Game” left viewers with a cliffhanger, and this news should come as a welcome relief for those eager to see what happens next.
