Netflix, what are you doing?! If the latest reports are to be believed, Squid Game Season 3 might be wrapping up in just six episodes, and fans are not having it.
Shorter Season, Bigger Outrage
The internet is melting down after a post on Instiz suggested that the much-anticipated Squid Game finale will be the shortest season yet. If true, Season 3 will only have six episodes, following Season 2’s seven-episode format. That means Netflix is giving us 13 episodes total between the two seasons—which, let’s be honest, feels like a rip-off.
Fans aren’t just disappointed; they’re straight-up furious. The general sentiment? There’s no way the show can properly wrap up in just half a dozen episodes. With all the mind-bending plot twists and cliffhangers left from Season 2, six episodes just don’t seem enough.
Why Are Fans So Upset?
- The story is too complex – How can they possibly resolve all the chaos in just six episodes?
- Netflix’s recent history – The streaming giant has been canceling shows left and right. Is this their way of rushing to the finish line?
- Budget concerns – With a whopping $68.7 million spent on Seasons 2 and 3 combined, is Netflix prioritizing visuals over storytelling?
But Hold Up… Nothing’s Official Yet
Before you start flipping tables, let’s pump the brakes. Neither Netflix nor series creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has confirmed the six-episode count for Squid Game Season 3. This is all based on speculation from past reports, so there’s still a glimmer of hope that the final season will be longer.
However, if this rumor turns out to be true, expect fan outrage to hit Red Light, Green Light levels of intensity.
Season 3 of Squid Game is set to drop on June 27, 2025, on Netflix so we won’t have to wait too long to find out the truth. In the meantime, fans are flooding social media, demanding more episodes. Will Netflix listen? Or are we stuck with a mini-finale?
Let us know: Is six episodes enough, or does Squid Game deserve a full-length final season? Sound off in the comments!
