While Squid Game Season 3 is set to conclude the main storyline, creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has hinted at a possible spin-off series that could delve deeper into the enigmatic world of the deadly games.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Dong-hyuk confirmed that Season 3 will mark the end of the current narrative arc, stating, “Personally, I see the third season as being the finale to this story… That’s “because I believe I’ve had closure to the story I wanted to tell about society through the character of Seong Gi-hun.”

However, the possibility of a spin-off series remains open. Dong-hyuk expressed interest in exploring the lives of the enigmatic masked guards who oversee the deadly games.
“If I ever wanted to go back to the world of Squid Game, it would be about different characters with a different story arc,” he explained. “Some kind of spinoff, maybe. For example, the masked guards. How did they end up here? What do they do in their downtime?”
This intriguing concept opens up a new dimension to the Squid Game universe. By shifting the focus to the guards, the series could explore the inner workings of the organization, the motivations of its members, and the psychological impact of their involvement in these deadly games.
Season 3 of Squid Game is expected to arrive in June 2025, promising to deliver a thrilling conclusion to the main storyline.
