As the world gears up for the thrilling release of Squid Game Season 3, series lead Lee Jung-jae has made a startling confession that’s leaving fans both concerned and excited.
During Netflix’s global Tudum fan event held on Saturday, May 31, the South Korean actor—best known for his role as Seong Gi-hun, the unlikely hero of the dystopian survival drama Squid Game—revealed he’s been overwhelmed with anxiety about how audiences will receive the final installment of the hit series.
“We’re going to be releasing quite soon, and I’m very nervous,” the 52-year-old star shared in a candid interview with The Hollywood Reporter. Speaking through an interpreter, Lee admitted that the intense anticipation around the season has kept him on edge.
Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game became a global sensation with its brutal storyline, emotional depth, and chilling depiction of society’s darkest impulses. Now, with Season 3 positioned as the epic conclusion, expectations couldn’t be higher.
“I know a lot of fans are wondering what’s going to happen next, but honestly, all of us are just as curious about how you’re going to react,” Lee said. “The story takes a much darker turn in this final Game, and we can’t wait to see your response.”
Netflix added to the excitement by releasing a dramatic teaser trailer over the weekend. The clip confirms the return of Gi-hun to the deadly competition following the uprising in Season 2. This time, the Game appears more dangerous than ever before.
Squid Game Season 3 will officially premiere on June 27, 2025, marking the final chapter in a series that redefined streaming television.
