Squid Game is gearing up for the release of its third and final season and has created excitement among fans worldwide. The show focuses on people on 456 players, who are struggling financially, and decide to play children’s games with deadly twists to win cash prizes. The final season will showcase whether Player No. 456 aka Seong Gi-hun will put an end to these games or not. Amid the hype, fans are also upset that they will have to say goodbye to their favourite show. However, director Hwang Dong Hyuk talked about the possibility of making a spin-off of Squid Game.
While speaking at the 2025 Gotham Television Award, the filmmaker shared, “If I make a spin-off, it will be a story happening between season 1 and 2. There was a three years gap between season 1 and 2, so I want to show what they did for those times.”
Earlier, while announcing Season 3, director Hwang Dong-hyuk said in a statement, “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. On the first day, we began shooting Season 2, I remember thinking, “Wow, I can’t believe I’m back in the world of Squid Game.” It almost felt surreal. I wonder how it will feel for you to be back in Squid Game after three years, as well.”

He added, “Seong Gi-hun who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1 returns and joins the game again. Will he succeed in getting his revenge? Front Man doesn’t seem to be an easy opponent this time either. The fierce clash between their two worlds will continue into the series finale with Season 3, which will be brought to you next year. I am thrilled to see the seed that was planted in creating a new Squid Game grow and bear fruit through the end of this story. We’ll do our best to make sure we bring you yet another thrill ride. I hope you’re excited for what’s to come. Thank you, always, and see you soon, everyone.”
The show stars Lee Jung-jae, Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-joon, Im Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-shim, Jo Yu-ri, Lee David, and Roh Jae-won.
