Fans of Netflix’s global phenomenon Squid Game can now mark their calendars as the streaming giant has announced that the much-anticipated third and final season will premiere on June 27. The announcement was made through Netflix’s official Instagram handle, where they teased: “Player 456 returns, one final time. Watch the final season of Squid Game out on 27 June, only on Netflix.”
Building on the emotional rollercoaster of Season 2, the third season promises an even more intense and high-stakes narrative. The teaser trailer, which has already sent fans into a frenzy, reveals Gi-hun (Player 456) waking up inside a mysterious black box carried by pink guards. From there, viewers are thrust into a new and dangerous game, where a massive gumball machine dispenses red and blue balls—symbols of fate for the contestants.
As Gi-hun, still haunted by the betrayal of his ally Jung-bae (Player 390), navigates this deadly arena, he finds himself facing an unexpected enemy—the Front Man, who shockingly infiltrated their rebellion disguised as Player 001.
Squid Game, which has become Netflix’s most-watched show, shattered records with its second season, recording 192.6 million views in just three days. Only its first season has more views, with 265.2 million, making it the streaming platform’s most popular non-English series.
The final season will stream in multiple languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, ensuring its widespread reach among global audiences.
