"Squid Game" is described on IMDb as a show in which "hundreds of cash-strapped players accept a strange invitation to compete in children's games. Inside, a tempting prize awaits with deadly high stakes: a survival game that has a whopping 45.6 billion-won prize at stake."

Squid Games season two spent less than two weeks at number one on Netflix, despite hopes that it would dominate for much longer

While Netflix has established that season 3 of Squid Game is coming in 2025 in multiple promos for its content in the coming year, they may have accidentally let the exact date slip.

Squid Game season 2, though, is already one of Netflix's most popular shows ever, rocketing up to the second spot in the Non-English language all-time chart. It's behind Squid Game season 1 – but that might change over the next 80 days.

Squid Game season 3 doesn't have an official release date but Netflix has confirmed it will be out in 2025. Filming has already finished on the third season and show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed in late 2024 they were working on post-production. This means we might be waiting a while into 2025 before new episodes are released.

Netflix pulled out all the stops for the release of the much-anticipated Season 2, resulting in monster numbers for the series

In its second week, the new season of Squid Game continues to break records as it amassed 126.2 million views total across 11 days. Despite its dominance around the world, the Korean drama could not hold on to the top spot in America.
