Hwang Dong-hyuk, the show’s creator, director, and executive producer, shared this news in a letter. After Netflix renewed the series in June 2022 and released a teaser in February, this marks the first announcement of the third season.
In his letter, Hwang revealed some plot details. In Squid Game, Cho Sang-woo (Park Hae-soo) won a deadly contest of children’s games for a grand prize of 45.6 billion won.

“Seong Gi-hun, who vowed revenge at the end of Season 1, returns and joins the game again,” Hwang wrote. “The Front Man will not be an easy opponent this time either.”
Lee Jung-jae, who plays Seong, spoke to UPI before reading the scripts for Season 2, expressing his anticipation for Hwang’s work.
Netflix also released a teaser hinting at a connection to the Paris Olympics, showing contestants in green uniforms invading a track and field race.
The latest photo shows Seon back in his iconic 456 number uniform.
Squid Game premiered on September 17, 2021, breaking Netflix records. It also inspired a reality competition, Squid Game: The Challenge, where contestants can win real money in non-lethal games.
