#SquidGame2 6.5 of 10 Games were lacklustre minus the final one in my opinion. The deaths and games weren’t as creative as the first season still enjoyed it but huge downgrade from the first season in my opinion. pic.twitter.com/IBFHZYn0GP

With the acceptance and success of the first season and the excitement surrounding the second, it’s no surprise that Netflix has already announced a third and final season, set to release in 2025.
Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has promised an even more intense and thrilling conclusion to the series which could be an end to the story released in the first quarter of next year.
