Although Netflix has already spoken about the series’ fate, some “Squid Game” fans were frustrated with only six episodes to conclude the 3rd season.
At the end of the 2nd season of “Squid Game,” which premiered on December 26, 2024, Netflix confirmed that the 3rd season would be the conclusion of the acclaimed Korean drama.
The series tells the story of Seong Gi-hun, played by Lee Jung-jae, who accepts an invitation to participate in a survival game to pay off his debts.
At the end of the 2nd season, Gi-hun decides to return to the games to try to destroy the institution from within. Some fans believe it’s a safe choice to end the series at its peak, while others were hoping for a possible 4th season.
According to Forbes magazine, prolonging the story too much would risk reducing the tension and mystery that made “Squid Game” a global success.
Although the series has already ended, the audience is eagerly awaiting some spin-off from “Squid Game,” as suggested by actor Lee Byung-hun, who plays Front Man, who hinted at an origin spin-off for his character.
According to Deadline, the actor talked about the idea in an interview.
“Are you blaming yourself for everything that’s happened?”
