Squid Game season two ended in a cliffhanger, leaving fans eager to know what’s next for Seong Gi-hun and other survivors. Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted at the direction of the final season, focusing on Gi-hun and Front Man Lee Byung-hun. The latter’s true intentions remain unclear, but Hwang says his loyalty will be revealed in season three.
The third season will delve into Gi-hun’s emotional state after the devastating loss of Player 390 and his rebellion against the game. Hwang aims to explore the character’s guilt and failure, setting him on a path of self-discovery. The creator considers this season as the finale to the story he wanted to tell about society through Gi-hun.
In contrast, Thanos, played by Choi Seung-hyun, will not return in season three. Hwang believes his departure was necessary for the character’s arc and allows for a sense of closure. The Squid Game seasons are now available on Netflix, with season three set to arrive in 2025.
