Looks like the intern is getting fired. In a now-deleted video from Netflix Korea’s YouTube channel, the streaming platform accidentally revealed the release date for the final season of Squid Game.
The clip, which was meant to be a teaser for the upcoming season of the Netflix hit, included information that the next season would arrive on the platform on June 27 of this year.
Even though he was cautious with spoilers, Hwang Dong-hyuk, the creator of the series, had already revealed to Variety that the release date for the third season would be coming soon, especially considering the inconclusive ending of the second season.
“What I can say is that after the release of season 2, I believe we will announce the release date of season 3 soon. I’m hoping for it to be released around next summer or fall.”
So, while it’s not a huge surprise for those closely following the Korean production, internet users were still shocked by the information, since it took a few years for the second season to be released.
“I want it now,” admitted one user on X (formerly Twitter). “So the wait isn’t that long, just six months [until the release],” said another. “Thanks, I thought we’d have to wait until December,” stated a third user.
