On the glittering Golden Globes red carpet, the stars of "Squid Game," Lee Jung-jae, and its visionary creator, Hwang Dong-hyuk, dropped tantalizing hints about the third and final chapter of their Netflix phenomenon. In an exclusive chat with Deadline, Jung-jae and Dong-hyuk unveiled what avid viewers can anticipate from Season 3.
"Season 3," revealed the show's leading man, "promises a deviation from the thrills of Seasons 1 and 2, delivering even more intricate twists, unexpected turns, and heightened conflicts among our characters. It's going to be a wild ride, leaving you utterly bewildered about our ultimate destination."
Dong-hyuk echoed this sentiment with a laugh, declaring, "This is the craziest one yet—a season so bonkers, it's almost beyond belief. It's poised to be the grandest finale our series could ever have." He also shared that the team is currently locked in post-production, inching closer to wrapping up this epic saga.
Season 2 of "Squid Game" premiered on December 26, amassing a staggering 68 million views within its first three days on Netflix. The show cemented its global dominance by topping the weekly non-English TV list in 92 countries, surpassing "Wednesday's" previous record of 50.1 million views during its premiere week.
Picking up three years after Player 456's victorious stint in the deadly game, Season 2 finds Gi-hun plunging back into the enigmatic world of survival contests, initiating another life-or-death challenge with a fresh batch of contestants vying for a grand prize of 45.6 billion Korean won.
Returning for Season 2 alongside Lee Jung-jae were Lee Byung-hun, Wi Ha-jun, and Gong Yoo, joined by a stellar ensemble including Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Park Gyu-young, Lee Jin-uk, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Lee David, Choi Seung-hyun, Roh Jae-won, Jo Yu-ri, and Won Ji-an.
As the final curtain draws near, fans eagerly await the conclusion of this mesmerizing saga, ready to be swept off their feet by one last wild journey into the treacherous world of "Squid Game."
