Thu Jan 30 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Squid Game’s Final Season Set for June 27th Release
**Seoul, South Korea** – Netflix has announced that the highly anticipated third and final season of *Squid Game* will premiere globally on June 27th. The news comes with a first-look teaser, promising a dramatic conclusion to the hit South Korean survival thriller.
The series, which stars Lee Jung-jae as Gi-hun and Wi Ha-jun as Jun-ho, will see the return of several key cast members alongside new additions. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk once again serves as director and executive producer.
Season 2, released in December 2024, saw Gi-hun grappling with the aftermath of his Season 1 victory and his mission to expose the organization behind the deadly games. The season, which amassed over 173 million views and 1.2 billion hours of watch time on Netflix, ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, setting the stage for the final chapter.
Production of Seasons 2 and 3 was done back-to-back, minimizing the wait time between installments unlike the nearly three-year gap between the first two seasons. This rapid turnaround follows the unprecedented success of *Squid Game*, which became Netflix’s most-watched series ever and earned numerous awards, including Emmys for Lee Jung-jae and Lee You-mi.
With expectations at a fever pitch, Netflix promises an explosive finale to this global phenomenon.
