When Does 'Squid Game' Season 3 Come Out On Netflix? Release Time In The UK, US, Australia And More
Squid Game's third — and final — series is almost upon us. The highly-anticipated series, which will be released on June 27, will feature six episodes all of which will be available to stream tomorrow (meaning we have a weekend full of bingeing ahead of us). As for what we can expect from the third season of Squid Game: 'Picking up where the second season left off, season three explores the choices Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-jae) will make amidst overwhelming despair,' the official logline of the third season reads. 'As the Front Man (Lee Byung-hun) plots his next move, the surviving players find their decisions leading to increasingly dire consequences with each round of the deadly games. This season promises to push the limits of suspense and drama, keeping viewers glued to the action.' It might be Squid Game's final season, but the Korean drama will leave a lasting legacy given its runaway success. Squid Game season two became Netflix's third most-watched series ever, garnering 68 million views upon its debut — breaking the record for the most views in a premiere week — and ranking number one in the top non-English TV series list across 92 countries. So, when will the new episodes drop? This is everything you need to know. Squid Game season three will premiere on Netflix on June 27 at 8am GMT. But if you're not based in the UK, Here's all the times the series lands on Netflix where you are on 27th June: There are six episodes in the third instalment, and all six episodes will be available to stream on Friday. 'The ending is something you really cannot expect,' Lee Jung-Jae, who plays Gi-Hun, told Variety. 'I am looking forward to what kind of interpretations viewers have.' When Hwang first announced Squid Game's renewal for a third season, he promised to deliver another 'thrill ride' and teased, 'The fierce clash between [Gi-Hun and the Front Man's] two worlds will continue into the series finale.' Squid Game season 3 starts on Netflix on June 27 at 8am GMT. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Squid Game season 3: How much is 45.6 billion Won prize money in USD and INR? Detail breakdown
Squid Game prize money: Squid Game Season 3 is all set to premiere on Netflix on June 27, 2025, and fans are bracing themselves for another round of deadly games, emotional twists, and intense suspense. As the thrilling South Korean series gears up for its high-stakes finale, everyone's wondering the same thing: how much is the prize money really worth in global currencies like US dollars and Indian rupees? Let's break down the details of the Squid Game prize money, conversions, and what to expect from the latest season. When Will Squid Game Season 3 Be Released? Netflix's Squid Game Season 3 will officially drop on 27 June 2025. The show will continue the story of Seong Gi-Hun (Player 456), who seems determined to take revenge on the organisation behind the brutal survival games. The season 2 finale left many questions unanswered. With returning players, new games, and more bloodshed expected, season 3 is likely to raise the stakes even higher. Gi-Hun's rebellion, the fate of Jun-Ho, and the dark secrets of the island are all set to unfold in the upcoming episodes. How Much Is the Squid Game Prize Money in Season 3? The total Squid Game prize money is a staggering 45.6 billion Korean Won. That's a life-changing amount — but how does it translate into other currencies? Here's the estimated value of ₩45.6 billion: US Dollar: $33.4 million Indian Rupees: Rs 283 crore British Pounds (UK): £25 million Euros: €28 million Canadian Dollar: ~$46 million Australian Dollar: A$51 million Whether you're in India, the US, or anywhere else, this is a jaw-dropping amount of money. Prize Money Breakdown: How the Pot Grows in Squid Game In Squid Game Season 2, the prize money increased every time a player died. For every eliminated contestant, ₩100 million was added to the pot. Here's how the pot grew throughout the season: After 'Red Light, Green Light': Prize: ₩9.1 billion ≈ $6.8 million / Rs 56.5 crore Prize per player: ₩24.39 million After the Six-Legged Pentathlon: Prize: ₩20.1 billion ≈ $13.6 million / Rs 125 crore Prize per player: ₩78.82 million After 'Mingle': Prize: ₩35.6 billion ≈ $24.2 million / Rs 220 crore Prize per player: ₩356 million After the Bathroom Fight: Prize: ₩36.1 billion Prize per player: ₩380 million After the Special Game: Prize: ₩37.7 billion Prize per player: ₩477.2 million After the Revolt: Prize: ₩38.6 billion Prize per player: ₩551.4 million These numbers show how drastically the prize money per player increases as more contestants are eliminated. The fewer the survivors, the higher the individual share. How Is the Final Prize Distributed Among the Winners? In the rules of the Squid Game, if players complete all six games, the remaining survivors will equally split the ₩45.6 billion grand prize. However, if the majority votes to end the game early, the pot is divided among all surviving players at that point. This means the prize money in Squid Game season 3 can vary depending on how many players make it to the end, and who survives the deadly twists. What to Expect in Squid Game Season 3 The official trailers show that Seong Gi-Hun is ready to fight back. With a renewed mission and dangerous enemies, his journey is far from over. Meanwhile, Jun-Ho continues his search for the secret island, unaware that his boat's captain is working for the enemy. As the games begin again, we can expect more betrayals, shocking deaths, and fierce battles for survival. With the prize pot growing by the second, Squid Game Season 3 promises to be the most intense yet. Squid Game Season 3 not only brings back the deadly thrill and gripping storyline but also puts a huge amount of prize money on the line. The jaw-dropping sum of ₩45.6 billion, which equals around $33.4 million or Rs 283 crore, adds even more pressure and motivation for players to survive. Whether you're watching from India, the US, the UK, or anywhere in the world, the stakes have never been higher — and neither has the prize.

'Squid Game' Season 3 trailer brings guns, gumball machines: What to know Show Caption Hide Caption Duolingo and Netflix want 'Squid Game' fans to learn else Duolingo joined Netflix for a new campaign to help fans learn Korean ahead of the new season of 'Squid Game." "Squid Game" fans awoke to a scintillating and suspenseful new look at the show's third season earlier this week. In a new trailer, released May 5, beloved characters return after Season 2's violent cliff-hanger. Back to battle once again for their lives and a giant cash prize, the wordless preview sees contestants facing a series of high-stakes situations, involving guns, fists and an ominous giant gumball machine. The viral dystopic show, which centers around main character Seong Gi-hun or Player 456 (Lee Jung-jae), has delighted fans since its 2021 premiere, combining classic thriller elements with a deeper exploration of the human capacity for evil and the perils of an unequal society. Surprise! The 'Squid Game' reality show is morally despicable (and really boring) What did the 'Squid Game' Season 3 trailer reveal? The new trailer reveals that Gi-Hun, after attempting to take down the creators in Season 2 and nearly paying with his life, is back in the games. In a description of the trailer, Netflix wrote that he "will be forced to make some important choices in the face of overwhelming despair as he and the surviving players are thrust into deadlier games that test everyone's resolve." Season 2's finale also revealed In-Ho (Lee Byung-hun), or Player 001, to be the Front Man, who entered the games posing as an ordinary player. In-Ho also returns, serving as a foil for Gi-Hun's conscience. "Will Gi-hun make the right decisions, or will Front Man finally break his spirit?" the trailer's description teases. The preview also ends with a baby's cry, offering yet another possible plot clue. 'Squid Game' without subtitles?

Squid Game 3 Teaser: Gi-Hun Returns, Final Battle Begins; Who Will Survive The End?
Last Updated: Netflix dropped the teaser for Squid Game Season 3 on May 6, and it's clear that the stakes have never been higher. The teaser offers a chilling look into what's coming. The game is far from over, at least not until one final, bloody showdown. Netflix dropped the teaser for Squid Game Season 3 on May 6, and it's clear that the stakes have never been higher. The teaser offers a chilling look into what's coming: the return of the deathly game, the rebirth of the rebellion and a vengeance-fuelled Seong Gi-Hun (Lee Jung-Jae) leading the charge. Season 3 picks up with Gi-Hun being brought back into the facility, sealed in a coffin. Inside, survivors of previous rounds look terrified and unsure of what lies ahead. Gi-Hun, however, seems far from broken. Still haunted by the deaths of Jung-Bae and his comrades, he's back with a mission to dismantle the system once and for all. Among the familiar faces making a return are Myung-Gi, who had initially resisted joining the rebellion; Yong-Sik and Geum-Ja, a mother-son duo now on opposing teams; and Jun-Hee, whose tearful appearance suggests loss is imminent. Hyun-Ju, once a leader of the coup, is also seen, still looking for Dae-Ho, who remains alive after retreating out of fear. The teaser also features detective Hwang Jun-Ho sneaking into the control room, while pink guard No-Eul explores a restricted zone, possibly hinting at a mutiny from within. Interestingly, Front Man In-Ho is conspicuously absent from the footage, and there's no sign of Gyeong-Seok, leaving his fate unresolved. As the teaser races through intense sequences, the infamous red-blue ball game appears to cause a rift among the players. Though Myung-Gi is seen on Gi-Hun's red team, his blood-splattered face hints at yet another brutal loss. With Yong-Sik and Geum-Ja pitted against each other, at least one heartbreaking death seems inevitable. The teaser ends on a deeply unsettling note with the cry of a baby echoing through the chaos. Season 3, which marks the final installment of the global phenomenon, features returning actors including Lee Jung-Jae, Lee Byung-Hun, Wi Ha-Joon, Im Si-Wan, Kang Ha-Neul, Park Sung-Hoon, Jo Yu-Ri, Kang Ae-Shim, Yang Dong-Geun, Lee David, Roh Jae-Won, and Park Gyu-Young. Squid Game Season 3 premieres June 27 on Netflix. First Published:
