Squid Game is set to conclude with its third season, delivering a definitive resolution for fans of this globally acclaimed South Korean survival series.

Director and creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has garnered immense recognition since Squid Game first premiered. His journey to success was paved with challenges, having faced numerous rejections before the series finally found its home on Netflix. In Season 3, he assures fans that their unresolved questions will be thoroughly addressed, bringing closure to the narrative.

Lee Jung-jae, the actor behind the central character Gi-hun, expressed his excitement about the third season following the overwhelming success of Season 2. While the previous season was well-received, some viewers felt it fell short with only seven episodes, leaving many questions unanswered. Jung-jae stated, “I’m not here to justify the viewers’ reactions or explain our intentions. Season 3 will provide clarity to many of the questions fans have,”as reported by TheKoreaTimes. He further elaborated on Gi-hun’s journey, illustrating how the character navigates formidable challenges and aims to save lives despite facing devastating setbacks. “It will be exciting to see how he will overcome these challenges,”he added, emphasizing the character’s evolution.

In a separate interview, Dong-hyuk reinforced that Season 3 will mark the conclusion of Gi-hun’s storyline. He stated, “Personally, I see the third season as being the finale to this story. That’s because I believe I’ve had closure to the story I wanted to tell about society through the character of Seong Gi-hun,”as mentioned by The Hollywood Reporter. While he confirms an end to Gi-hun’s arc, he remains open to exploring spinoff opportunities, hinting at narratives featuring other characters, such as the masked guards. “How did they end up here? What do they do in their downtime? Something like that, maybe,” he mused.

It appears that fans seeking resolutions concerning Gi-hun’s character arc can expect satisfactory answers in the final season. However, the backstory of supporting characters such as the masked guards may be reserved for potential future spinoffs, as Dong-hyuk suggested that the upcoming season is primarily focused on concluding Gi-hun’s storyline. With the complexity of the plot and character dynamics established in the first two seasons, Dong-hyuk’s insights indicate that exploring deeper character backstories may not fit into the already packed narrative of Season 3, especially following the cliffhanger ending from Season 2.

Squid Game Season 2 is currently available for streaming on Netflix, and fans can anticipate the arrival of Season 3 later this year.
