By “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has revealed that the third and final season of “Squid Game” is already eyeing a release window.
Speaking with Variety, Hwang says Netflix is currently targeting a release sometime around the third quarter of next year:
“What I can say is, after Season 2 launches, I believe we will be announcing the launch date for Season 3 soon. I probably expect that to launch around summer or fall next year.”
With the second season just released this week on the streamer, people are still making their way through new episodes. Hwang was able to offer a non-spoiler tease of what to expect in the final run from its leading man Lee Jung-jae who plays Gi-hun:
“You’re going to meet our character Gi-hun at a very critical crossroads as we begin the third season. Gi-hun will not be the man he was in season 2.”
The third season is why the second season clocks in at a shorter seven episodes in length as compared to the first season’s ten episodes – but due to slightly longer episodes for the second season the runtime difference is more comparable 8hrs 30mins for the first season compared to 7hrs 7mins for the second. An episode count for the third hasn’t been announced.
Separately he confirms to The Wrap that David Fincher is developing a U.S.-set remake of the property, adding that: “I know Netflix has a plan. They are not going to throw this idea away”.
