The creator of Squid Game, Hwang Dong-hyuk, has shared new details about the show’s final season. He says the ending of Squid Game season 3 will not be fully happy or completely sad — it will be a mix of both.
In a recent interview with The Playlist, Hwang explained that the finale will be “half happy, half sad.” He did not give away any major plot points but hinted that the final episode will have a balanced emotional impact.
Season 1 of Squid Game ended with Gi-hun winning the deadly games, but he lost friends and suffered deeply. Instead of using the prize money for a new life, he chose to stay and fight the system behind the games. That complex ending may be a clue to how season 3 will conclude.
Fans expect a dramatic finish as Gi-hun continues his battle with the current Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun. The ending may show progress in stopping the deadly tournament, but it likely won’t be a clean or easy victory.
Hwang’s comment confirms that the final season will reflect the same emotional depth and difficult choices the series is known for. Squid Game season 3 may end the story — but not without leaving viewers with a lot to think about.
