Summary
WhenNetflix’sSquid Gamewas released in 2021, viewers were equally drawn to and terrified of the story of 456 players competing in deadly games and hoping to win millions of dollars. The series looks at class differences and politics and every episode is as sad as it is full of action.The story centers around Player 456 Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae)who is financially in dire straits andcomes back inSquid Gameseason 2to face the Front Man.
WithSquid Gameseason 3 coming soon, fans are already guessing what the main storyline could be and what new games could be included. Fans have shared their thoughts on Reddit aboutwhat should happen in the next season, which is going to be the epic finale toone of the most powerful shows ever streaming on Netflix.
How Do Fans Want Squid Game Season 3 To End?
In aReddit thread, viewers thought about the best endings forSquid Gameseason 3. Redditor @Enigmadizasrerdoesn’t thinkSquid Gameseason 3 should have a happy ending.They suggested that perhaps some of the characters think that they have won, only to figure out that the games are going to continue. The fan wrote;
“A small handful with escape with the help of 001. They will think they blew the whole place up, but none of it matters because everyone and everything is replaceable, and with disappointment they will realise that they can’t stop it because a new venue is built and new people are found. Or they realise there are many Squid Games running across the world.”
A final image of various Squid Games happening globally would be a chilling and unforgettable way to end the show. Since the series has a bleak tone andSquid Gameseason 2’s gamesare as risky as ever, it would make sense to conclude on a tragic and scary note.
Redditor Apart-Brother-4243 wonders ifGi-hun could visit his daughter and then realize that the horror isn’t truly over. This would be an emotional and moving scene that fits the tone of the show and would also allow the series to end on a shocking note. The fan wrote:
“Gi-hun takes down the games and travels to see his daughter in America. When he’s there he notices a man in a grey suit playing ddakji wich could link to the American spin off!”
Redditor Quiet-Regular-7326 wonders if there could be a major death inSquid Gameseason 3. They wrote:
“I just feel like it 100% will end with 456 killing the frontman.”
Since the Front Man has been the main villain since the first episode, it would make sense for them to die.This ending would allowSquid Gameto come full circle. After themysterious ending ofSquid Gameseason 2, the series finale needs to have a conclusion that is set in stone, not an ambiguous or vague final scene. But since Gi-hun never intended to kill anyone, this wouldn’t exactly be a victory. The final shot could be this beloved character sitting and reflecting on everything he has experienced in the past few years and how the games have changed him.
What Did Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk Say About Squid Game Season 3?
Hwang Dong-hyuk has spoken aboutSquid Gameseason 3 in various interviews. He shared thatSquid Gameseason 3 might come out in summer or fall 2025. The showrunner has also talked a little bit about what fans can expect story-wise in the third and final season. Fans can’t wait formore greatSquid Gamescenesand since they’ve been impressed withSquid Game’s well-crafted episodesso far, the last season will likely be even more epic and memorable.
In an interview withThe Hollywood Reporter, Hwang said:
“the third season will really explore that sense of loss and failure, that guilt weighing so heavily on Gi-hun. How’s he going to navigate the story further with all of that weighing down on him?”
He continued thatSquid Gameseason 3 will be the last one,but he’s possibly open to a future spinoff. He said season 3 is the end because “I’ve had closure to the story I wanted to tell about society through the character of Seong Gi-hun.” He said that if there was a Squid Game spinoff, he would be interested in exploring other characters, such as the masked guards. He asked, “How did they end up here? What do they do in their downtime?” Since the guards are some ofthe most intriguingSquid Gamecharacters, this is a great idea.
