Squid Game Season 2 has left fans eagerly discussing its unexpected conclusion with just 7 episodes, which is two episodes shorter than the first season. The latest season ends on a major cliffhanger involving Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), and many are left wondering if there will be more episodes to resolve the tension.
Unfortunately, Season 2 will not have additional episodes. But don’t worry—while Season 2 may be over, there’s good news for fans eagerly awaiting more action. The highly anticipated Season 3 of Squid Game is already confirmed to release in 2025.
Creator and writer Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that the decision to make Season 2 shorter came from the fact that he originally wrote both Seasons 2 and 3 as a single, lengthy story. However, once he finished the story, it turned out to be too long to be contained in one season.
As a result, the story was split into two parts: Season 2 provides some resolution and sets the stage for the even more intense and expansive Season 3.
Hwang went on to explain that Season 2 centers around Gi-hun’s transformation as a man, shaped by his failures in the game.
The emotional impact of losing his best friend, Jung-bae, at the hands of The Front Man pushes Gi-hun into a crisis of guilt, setting up his character for a more intense journey in the final season. The cliffhanger ending in Season 2 is meant to offer just enough closure before diving into the story’s final chapter.
Squid Game Season 3 Update
As for Season 3, fans don’t have to wait long. It is expected to arrive in 2025, with Hwang teasing that the next season will be even better than before, promising an expanded storyline that will delve deeper into the characters and the high-stakes world of Squid Game.
Fans can look forward to more thrills, twists, and action-packed moments as Gi-hun’s story reaches its epic conclusion.
While Season 2 was a whirlwind, Season 3 will continue the battle between Gi-hun and The Front Man, and the stakes are only going to get higher.
The creator hinted that each episode will be more intense and engaging, ensuring fans are hooked until the very end.
For now, we have to wait a little longer, but rest assured, Squid Game will return soon to wrap up its gripping saga.
