What has the creator of Squid Game revealed about the ending?
Hwang Dong-hyuk, the mastermind behind this global phenomenon, has already given the biggest spoiler so far: the ending won’t be happy. In his own words: “People like a happy ending. I like that too. But some stories, by nature, can’t have one. If you try to force it, you compromise the essence. If a story is holding up a mirror to society, it’s not always a happy ending. Squid Game is no exception.”
With that statement, the creator makes it clear that fans shouldn’t expect redemption, justice, or uplifting conclusions. On the contrary, Squid Game 3 will dive deeper into moral ambiguity, violence, and humanity’s darkest side—themes that have been present since season one.
What can we expect from the new episodes according to Lee Jung-jae?
Lee Jung-jae, who plays the tormented Gi-hun, revealed that the season will be full of surprises. “The messages of Squid Game are very important. In season three, we have new games, new characters, unexpected twists. It’s going to be very entertaining… but with a message,” he stated to The Guardian.
This means that beyond the brutal, spectacular games, the plot will continue to deliver sharp social criticism, especially towards capitalism—the system the series has questioned since its debut in 2021.
What is trending on Google about Squid Game 3?
Google searches for What will happen in Squid Game 3? Spoilers have exploded in recent days.

But as Lee Jung-jae warned: “A lot of people come to me asking for spoilers. I always tell them that if you want to enjoy season three, you just have to wait. It’s coming.”
