It took Netflix three years to debut a second season of the surprise hit K-drama "Squid Game." However, seasons two and three were filmed simultaneously, meaning there will be less of a wait after the second season, which released on December 26.

While there’s no specific date set, fans can expect Season 3 to start streaming sometime in 2025, according to Netflix. Hwang told Entertainment Weekly that he originally envisioned Season 2 and Season 3 as “a single story” but chose to split it into two separate seasons after realizing just how many episodes he needed to wrap up the saga.

This story will violently spoil season two of Squid Game so only read if you have finished all seven episodes or want to know how it ends. The second season finale of Squid Game is likely to infuriate some viewers with a classic TV trope: the cliffhanger.
