Squid Game Season 3 Release Date Announced by Netflix!

The release date for Season 3 of the hit Korean series on Netflix has been revealed, and fans won’t have to wait long.

The saga of Squid Game is drawing to a close! Following the release of Season 2 in December 2024, which caused a massive surge in viewership on Netflix, the third and final season is set to premiere soon. Bela Bajaria, head of Netflix’s programming, announced this Thursday that the final episodes will be released on June 27, 2025.

Netflix has disclosed that Season 3 of Squid Game will pick up right where the second season left off, delving into Gi-hun’s ultimate decisions in an increasingly dire situation. The choices made by each of the game’s survivors will have significant consequences, adding even more suspense.

Released on December 26, 2024, during the holiday season, the Korean series’ second season shattered viewing records and consistently topped the charts as the most-watched series on the streaming platform for several weeks. According to Netflix’s data, it became the second most popular non-English language season on the platform (with 152.5 million views one month after its release), only surpassed by the first season of Squid Game (265.2 million views).

When Does Season 3 of Squid Game Come Out?

Squid Game aficionados will be thrilled to hear that Season 3 is on its way. However, creator Hwang Dong Hyuk has decided to conclude the story with these upcoming episodes, marking the end of the series. It will be available from June 27, 2025.

Synopsis – A unique survival game is set in Korea: the survivor can win 45.6 billion won (approximately 32 million euros). 450 individuals, living in poverty, are recruited to participate in deadly variations of children’s games. Squid Game is a Netflix series not recommended for viewers under the age of 16.

Why Has Squid Game Caused Controversy in Schools?

Squid Game has been a huge hit on Netflix. The South Korean series portrays children’s games played violently, often resulting in death. The series has become so popular that many children have heard of Squid Game, which is not suitable for viewers under 16. In playgrounds, some children have been replicating the challenges from the series, raising concerns from the Ministry of National Education. On LCI, Jean-Michel Blanquer called for “responsibility” from everyone to ensure that the youngest viewers do not watch the series. “There is definitely a responsibility on the platforms… it is normally forbidden for under 16s, maybe we should consider measures that truly enable parental control on such topics.”

However, it’s worth noting that a parental control feature does exist on the streaming platform, under Account > Profile and parental control > Access restriction. Jean-Michel Blanquer also emphasized the responsibility of parents: “we won’t get anywhere if we don’t have a commitment from parents to check more on what’s happening,” he said. “Don’t let children watch screens alone.” School principals and middle school heads have been alerted to the phenomenon, and some parents may therefore have received messages regarding this series.

What is the Recommended Age to Watch Squid Game?

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

Apart from youth accounts, it is possible to set up parental control on your Netflix account. Simply go to Account > Profile and parental control > Access restriction. You can then change the age category (content that does not fit within the imposed age limit will no longer be accessible) or target specific content that should not appear, like Squid Game for instance. Keep in mind, if you have multiple profiles that your children can access, you need to apply these restrictions to all profiles.
