Sat Jan 04 05:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Netflix Accidentally Reveals ‘Squid Game’ Season 3 Release Date?
**January 3, 2024** – Netflix may have prematurely revealed the release date for the highly anticipated third season of *Squid Game*. A since-removed video on Netflix Korea briefly displayed a June 27, 2025, release date. This would be a remarkably swift turnaround, considering the three-year gap between seasons one and two.
However, the situation is more nuanced. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has clarified that seasons two and three were originally conceived as a single, 14-episode arc, subsequently split for release. Therefore, the upcoming season is better considered as part two of a larger story rather than a standalone season three. Production on both parts occurred concurrently.
The unusually short gap between the releases – just six months – is speculated to be a strategic move by Netflix. The streamer likely wants to capitalize on the cliffhangers from season two while also leaving the latter half of 2025 for the release of other major titles like the final season of *Stranger Things* and season two of *Wednesday*. This scheduling suggests a massive year for Netflix, with these three behemoth shows dominating the platform’s content calendar. Preliminary estimations place *Stranger Things* in September/October and *Wednesday* in November/December 2025.
While the June 27th date remains unconfirmed by Netflix, the leaked information, coupled with the streamer’s content strategy, lends considerable weight to its accuracy.
