What will happen in Squid Game Season 3?

The third season is expected to continue after the events of Season 2. The show’s creator explained that they were initially envisioned as a single season, but it was separated due to the length of the story.

“I originally envisioned Seasons 2 and 3 as a single story. That’s how I wrote it. But in the process, it came out to be too many episodes. So I thought it’d be better to divide it into two,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “I wanted to tell the story of what happened to Gi-hun after where we leave him at the end of Season 1 and what he does, what kind of actions he takes in order to put a stop to these games. As creator, writer, and director, it was almost my mission or my role to further tell that story… the story I wanted to tell came to a full closure at the end of Season 3.”

He also explained the decision to split the story where he does, telling Deadline, “I wrote Seasons 2 and 3 at the same time, and we were in production for both simultaneously, and currently we are in the post-production process for Season 3. When I was writing the script for the two seasons, I felt like there was a big turning point or an inflection point, and that was the end of Episode 7, so I thought that it would do it justice to have a separate season after that. That’s why I had first seven episodes as Season 2 and then the rest of Season 3.”

How did Squid Game Season 2 end?

The second season ended in bloodshed as Gi-hun’s rebellion failed, and many lives from his side (those who voted not to continue the games) were lost.
