When Will Season 3 of Squid Game Hit Netflix? Find Out Here!

Released at the end of 2024, Season 2 of Squid Game has shattered competition records and achieved the feat of having a better start than its first season. Season 3 is on its way.

Will the Squid Game craze ever slow down? While the first season, which debuted in 2021, had already topped the charts as Netflix’s most-watched non-English original series (and one of the most-watched series overall), the second season has only amplified its massive popularity.

In Season 2, Gi-Hun returns to participate in the Squid Game with a new, distinct goal, unlike those simply hoping to win the 45.6 billion won prize. He dives back into the deadly survival game, facing new and lethal challenges.

Released on December 26, 2024, during the holiday season, the continuation of this Korean series broke all records and naturally ranked as the top-viewed series on the streaming platform for several weeks. According to Netflix, it became the second most popular season of a series on the platform of all time (with 152.5 million views a month after its release), just behind the first season of Squid Game (265.2 million views).

When is Season 3 of Squid Game Coming Out?

But is this the end of the series? Squid Game fans can rejoice because Season 3 is already in the works. However, the creator Hwang Dong Hyuk has expressed his intention to conclude the story with these upcoming episodes. Thus, it will mark the end of the series.

While there was a three-year wait between the end of Season 1 and the start of Season 2, the upcoming season will indeed arrive in the coming months; in fact, at the Lucca Comics and Games Festival held last October in Italy, the series creator confirmed that the final episodes are already in post-production! Speaking to Variety, he also revealed that the series finale would be released “in the summer or fall of 2025.” Fans won’t have to wait much longer.

Synopsis – A unique survival game is held in Korea: the survivor can win 45.6 billion won (about 32 million euros). 450 people, living in hardship, are recruited and try their luck in deadly variations of children’s games. Squid Game is a Netflix series not recommended for viewers under 16.

Why Has Squid Game Sparked Controversy in Schools?

Squid Game has been a massive hit on Netflix. The South Korean series features violent renditions of children’s games, often with fatal outcomes. Its success has led many children to hear about Squid Game, despite it being restricted to viewers over 16. In schoolyards, some kids have been recreating the series’ challenges, raising concerns at the national education level: on LCI, Jean-Michel Blanquer called for “responsibility” from everyone to ensure younger viewers don’t watch the series. “It’s clear that platforms have a responsibility… it’s normally restricted to those over 16, perhaps we need to consider measures that allow for real parental control over such matters.”

However, a parental control feature does exist on the streaming platform, accessible via Account > Profile and Parental Controls > Viewing Restrictions. Jean-Michel Blanquer also emphasized the responsibility of parents: “we won’t achieve anything if parents don’t commit to more closely monitoring what’s happening,” he remarked. “Don’t leave children alone with screens.” School principals and heads have been alerted to the phenomenon, and some parents may have received messages about this series.

What Is the Recommended Age to Watch Squid Game?

In France, Squid Game has stirred controversy in schools with children replicating the series’ games. This raises the question of the appropriate age limit for viewing this South Korean program. The streaming platform directly mentions on the Squid Game page that this content is intended for viewers aged 16 and over, due to its violence. How can we prevent children and those under 16 from watching the series?

Beyond youth accounts, it is possible to set up parental controls on your Netflix account. Simply go to Account > Profile and Parental Controls > Viewing Restrictions. Here, you can adjust the age category (content that does not fit within the imposed age limit will not be accessible) or target specific content that should not appear, such as Squid Game. Be aware, if you have multiple profiles that your children can access, it is important to apply these restrictions across all profiles.
