Squid Game Season 3 Teaser to be Released on Monday, May 5th
Fans of the hit Netflix series Squid Game will be getting a sneak peek of the highly anticipated Season 3 on Monday, May 5th, when the first teaser trailer is set to be released. According to a report from AnimeMojo, citing Netflix’s official social media announcement, the teaser will likely be a precursor to the full trailer, which is expected to be showcased at Tudum 2025 later this month.
In a tweet posted on May 4th, the official Squid Game account announced that the teaser would be released on Monday, May 5th, with a brief message that read: "Smile, we have something special for you. Squid Game Season 3 Teaser tomorrow." This news has sent fans into a frenzy, eagerly anticipating the release of the teaser and what it may reveal about the upcoming season.
Squid Game Season 3 is set to premiere on Netflix on June 27th, and will pick up immediately after the intense Season 2 finale, which concluded with a dramatic cliffhanger. While Netflix has kept the contents of Season 3 under wraps for the most part, some promotional stills have been released, and a mid-credits scene at the end of Season 2 seemed to introduce Young-hee’s boyfriend, Cheol-su, suggesting some new twists on the familiar Red Light, Green Light game.
The third and final season of the South Korean survival thriller is expected to bring closure to the series, but there are reports that Netflix wants to continue the franchise with spin-offs involving other characters in this dystopian world. Series creator, writer, and director Hwang Dong-hyuk had addressed the topic of continuing the Squid Game franchise earlier this year, mentioning the possibility of different story spin-offs. As AnimeMojo reported, Hwang told The Hollywood Reporter: "When we were doing season one, I was saying there was never going to be another season. And so if the time comes, and it just so happens that I’m able to come up with a character or a different story, then maybe there might be a comeback. But I’m thinking more along the lines of a spinoff."
Hwang also mentioned that he may be involved in future projects as an advisor or co-creator, stating: "Maybe I’ll be in one of those projects as an advisor or co-creator. Who knows? But Season 3 is not going to be the end of the ‘Squid Game’ universe." This news has sparked speculation among fans about the future of the franchise and what spin-offs may be in store.
In addition to the teaser release, Tudum 2025 is set to take place on Saturday, May 31st, and will stream live on Netflix. It’s possible that the event will not only feature a trailer for Squid Game Season 3, but also some sort of announcement regarding the future of the franchise.
As reported by AnimeMojo, fans will have to wait until June 27th to see the highly anticipated Season 3 of Squid Game. With the teaser release just around the corner, fans are eagerly anticipating what the upcoming season will bring. Will the teaser provide any clues about the future of the franchise? Only time will tell.
