Netflix’s Squid Game is preparing for its concluding third season. Following the significant impact of the earlier seasons, fans are eagerly awaiting how this gripping tale will wrap up.

With the second season premiering on december 26, 2024, attention is already being directed toward Season 3. As reported by tv Insider, the final season is expected to drop in 2025, although a specific release date has not yet been provided. Filming for both the second and third seasons occurred simultaneously, and post-production for the final season is currently in progress. This method ensures that the series maintains its high-stakes excitement while providing a satisfying resolution to all storylines.

While the full cast list for Season 3 remains undisclosed, it is widely anticipated that Lee Jung-jae will reprise his role as Seong Gi-hun, the protagonist who vowed vengeance at the end of the first season. Gi-hun's quest to dismantle the nefarious games is likely to be central to the final season’s plot.

Season 2 introduced various new characters and narratives, and it’s probable that some will carry over into Season 3. However, considering the show's infamous unpredictability, not every character is expected to make it to the conclusion. This aspect of surprise has kept the audience entranced.

The storyline of Squid Game Season 3 will resume from where Season 2 concludes. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has mentioned that the second and third seasons were initially envisioned as a single narrative. However, the story's richness and complexity required it to be separated into two distinct seasons to give each section the attention it needed.

In an interview with AFP, Hwang said that Seong Gi-hun's character drew inspiration from the violent labor strikes that occurred at Ssangyong Motor Company in 2009. While the series itself is fiction, it is grounded in real-life events and societal themes.

Hwang expressed, "I wanted to investigate the aftermath of Gi-hun’s actions following the first season. His efforts to end the games are pivotal to the plot. Dividing the narrative allowed us to explore each stage of his journey in greater detail." The series finale is anticipated to showcase a confrontation between Seong Gi-hun and the mysterious Front Man, whose true intentions are still unclear.

Viewers can look forward to the final season retaining the intense and thrilling vibe that has characterized the series. This concluding chapter promises to present a captivating and dramatic finale, resolving all unresolved plot points.
