Squid Game fans may have noticed that season 2 only has seven episodes, two less than season 1. This decision has a clear reason behind it.
After the massive success of season 1 in 2021, it took three years for season 2 to arrive. But the shorter season length is tied to the fact that both seasons 2 and 3 were written and produced at the same time.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk explained that while writing the scripts, he realized that episode 7 marked a major turning point in the story.
This moment felt like a natural break, which is why the decision was made to split the story across two seasons. Season 2 ends with a huge cliffhanger, leaving fans eagerly awaiting the resolution in season 3.
The wait for Squid Game season 3 will be much shorter, as it’s already in post-production and is set to release in 2025.
The story will continue from where season 2 left off, with many unresolved questions about the fate of the players and Gi-hun’s fight against the games.
Season 2’s final episode sets up a tense situation, with Gi-hun’s insurrection failing and the Front Man regaining control. The death of Jung-bae further complicates things, leaving viewers wondering what will happen next.
As for season 3, Netflix hasn’t yet confirmed the number of episodes, but it will likely be in the 7-9 range, similar to previous seasons.
