Squid Game 3 is confirmed for 2025, but there is no release date yet.

There is no trailer yet for Season 3, nor is there a confirmed cast list.
Yes, Season 3 will be the final season.
“When you look at Squid Game at the end of the day, it’s really all about Gi-Hun’s journey. The way he returned and gave up wanting to go see his daughter, returned from the flight and goes back into the game, wanting to put an end to it,” creator
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk told GamesRadar+.
“So, the storylines for seasons 2 and 3 are going to be about his journey and the viewers wanting to know, ‘Will he succeed, will he fail?’ And at the end of his journey, what would Gi-hun look like? So, at the end of the day, it’s really a story told by Gi-hun, and it’s a story of Gi-hun and also what changes he goes through as a character through these series of events. So I always thought that it had to be, it had to come to a closure with Gi-hun’s story by season 3. I thought that it would be meaningless to tell a story further than that.”
He also spoke to THR about the reason Season 3 will be the end: “When I was thinking about the idea for the ending of season three, I think it sort of naturally came to me that this was the finale. I believed that with that story, I was able to tell everything that I wanted to tell through the story of Squid Game and also in the perspective of Gi-hun as a character, and I thought that we don’t need any further stories from here.”
