Netflix slip-up unveils ‘Squid Game’ season 3 launch date

A surprise revelation about Squid Game Season 3 has fans buzzing, thanks to a teaser video mistakenly uploaded by Netflix Korea.

The video, posted on the streaming service’s official YouTube account, hinted at a June 27, 2025, release date for the much-anticipated third season, sending social media into overdrive.

The teaser showcases Young-hee, the infamous girl robot from the “Red Light, Green Light” game, now encountering a new robot, Chul-soo.

This scene echoed the post-credit clip from Season 2, leading fans to theorize that a new deadly game could be on the horizon. Although Netflix removed the video shortly after it went live, the news spread quickly across the internet, causing a stir among Squid Game enthusiasts.

While many fans are excited about the quick release date, there are mixed reactions regarding the continuation of the series.

Some believe that Season 2 should have been the show’s conclusion, with some even suggesting that the second season could have been extended to ten episodes. Others, however, are grateful to see the story continue, especially with a release date that’s earlier than anticipated.

Netflix has yet to officially confirm the details, although they did release a poster featuring Young-hee and Chul-Su, teasing the 2025 arrival of Season 3.

Meanwhile, rumors about Leonardo DiCaprio appearing in the upcoming season have been circulating. However, Netflix promptly addressed the speculation, denying any involvement from the actor, and confirming the rumors were unfounded.
