Fans were both thrilled and skeptical to see the announcement, given that they had to wait 3 years from 2021 to watch the second season. One person commented, “You mean this June right?” Another wrote, “Hype mode activated.” One fan pointed out, “You guys leaked it way before,” referring to how Netflix accidentally leaked the release date before deleting a teaser. The poster has ‘prepare for the final game’ written on it, revealing that this will be the final season of the show.

About Squid Game

Squid Game follows Lee Jung-jae’s Seong Gi-hun aka player 456 who finds himself unwittingly entering the games in season 1 in a bid to pay off debt. In season 2 which released last year, Lee enters the games willingly to take down the system but the Frontman, played by Lee Byung-hun, makes it difficult for him. The second season ends on a cliffhanger setting things up for the third season. Wi Ha-joon plays police officer Hwang Jun-ho, who has motives of his own to take down the game.
