Netflix’s 2025 schedule is making good on a lot of old promises. Fans may have not seen Jenna Ortega in , Hwang Dong-hyuk was asked about when in 2025 fans could expect Season 3 to premiere. “After Season 2 launches, I believe we will be announcing the launch date for Season 3 soon,” he said. “I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year.” June 27 is definitely firmly in the “summer 2025” category.

So how is such a small gap between seasons possible? Most of it comes down to the format of the season. Hwang said in the same interview with Variety that Seasons 2 and 3 were originally supposed to be one long season but were divided into two. This allowed both seasons to be filmed back to back, meaning there’s no need to reconvene the cast and crew again.

Season 2 of Squid Game did feel like half the story, so the shorter the wait for Season 3 the better. It’s unlikely that it will change the norm of taking years to create a new season, but it will be a welcome blessing in a year full of prodigal shows returning.

Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix in 2025.
