Meanwhile, earlier, Dong Hyuk penned an open letter to fans. He declared that the third season will be the final bow for the show. He promised a pulse-pounding showdown with only one clear winner. “Seong Gi-hun who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1 returns and joins the game again. Will he succeed in getting his revenge? Front Man doesn’t seem to be an easy opponent this time either. The fierce clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.” The announcement confirmed that fans can expect ‘Squid Game’ S3 in 2025.
