Share:
Netflix's Squid Game smashed its own viewing records, with the Season 2 launch on Boxing Day pulling in a whopping 68 million views within the first week, soaring past the record previously held by Wednesday at 50.1 million views. The much-talked-about Korean drama had viewers on tenterhooks as it ended with a suspense-packed cliffhanger, sparking widespread speculation about the timeline for its third and final season return.
Season 2 was a rollercoaster of terror and tragedy and unlike the first chapter, left the fates of many characters up in the air. The storyline follows Seong Gi-hun (played by Lee Jung-jae) as he once again plunges into the fatal contests, determined to halt them once and for all.
This season introduced viewers to fresh faces, such as the pregnant Jun-hee (portrayed by Jo Yuri) and the downtrodden crypto influencer Myung-gi (acted out by Yim Si-wan), reports the Mirror US. Although the end of Season 2 fuelled a pool of burning questions, fans can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that a third season is definitely happening. Netflix greenlit the renewal as early as July 2024.
Captioning the renewal announcement, Squid Game mastermind Hwang Dong-hyuk expressed: "I am beyond excited to be writing this letter to announce the date for Season 2 and share the news of Season 3, the final season.". He teased further about the conclusion: "The fierce clash between [Gi-hun and Front Man's] two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year.".
