On January 2, Netflix introduced "Squid Game 3", "Wednesday" and "Stranger Things" as the three most anticipated releases in 2025. At the same time, Netflix also provided teasers of these three shows on the Youtube platform.
Notably, in the description of the video "Squid Game 3", Netflix Korea noted: "Watch 'Squid Game' on Netflix on June 27". Although this short video was hidden shortly after, this information caused a stir among the audience. Many people believe that "Squid Game 3" will officially be released on June 27 as Netflix posted. However, many people are also skeptical that this is just a way to promote season 3.
The first video of "Squid Game 3" also revealed the appearance of the male doll character Cheolsu, making the audience even more curious about the next developments of the film.
Previously, director Hwang Dong Hyuk revealed that part 3 of this drama will air in early summer or next fall. The male director also added that the next episodes of "Squid Game" will be more tense but also more entertaining.
Previously, the second season of "Squid Game" premiered on December 26, 2024. After winning, player 456 Gi Hun (played by Lee Jung Jae) returned to find a way to end this death game. Part 2 also featured the clash between Gi Hun and Front Man (played by Lee Byung Hun) as player 001.
According to AllKpop, within just two days of its release, "Squid Game 3" rose to the top spot in 93 countries and territories across every continent, including Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, France, the United Kingdom, South Africa, Turkey, Hong Kong (China), and South Korea.
The series set a new viewership record in its first week and maintained its position as the No. 1 show globally for seven consecutive days starting on December 27.
However, "Squid Game 2" also encountered a lot of controversy surrounding the unreasonable and noisy details of the cast.
