Seoul, 2025 — The global phenomenon that redefined survival drama is back. Squid Game: Season 3 has been officially confirmed by Netflix, promising a darker, more psychological, and far more expansive season than ever before. Following the explosive success of the first two seasons, this next chapter takes the twisted competition to an international stage, where trust is fragile, alliances are deadly, and the rules have evolved.
