“Squid Game 3” Alleged Number Of Episodes Sparks Major Upset 

A recent post on Instiz has caused quite a stir among fans of Squid Game, revealing what could be the expected number of episodes for Season 3. Unfortunately, the post has become a hot topic, and many are not pleased with the news.

Season 2 of Squid Game continued the gripping story of Seong Gi Hun (Lee Jung Jae), picking up right where the first season left off. The intense cliffhanger set up new conflicts and introduced fresh characters, but the season itself received mixed reviews. Some fans loved the direction the show took, while others felt the pacing and character choices were not as strong as in Season 1.

However, it seems that excitement for the show’s final chapter — set to release on June 27 — remains high despite divided opinions on its second season. Fans are eager to see how the story will conclude, but the leaked alleged episode count has left many disappointed.

According to a 2023 OSEN report, Netflix filmed Seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back and produced a total of 13 episodes. Season 2 has aired seven episodes already, leaving only six for the final season. Many are now questioning whether six episodes will be enough to properly wrap up such a complex storyline.

However, since neither Netflix nor director Hwang Dong Hyuk have confirmed this information, fans are still waiting for an official statement and holding out hope for more episodes to come their way. Until then, the six-episode count remains an educated guess based on previous reports.

Interestingly, a separate report from Media Today shared another surprising detail — the alleged production budget for both seasons. But unlike the episode count, this news was met with excitement. Reports suggest that Squid Game Seasons 2 and 3 had a combined budget of around ₩100 billion KRW (about $68.7 million USD), hinting at a grand and visually impressive finale.

Despite the excitement over the budget, fans can’t help but focus on the short episode count.

• “Six episodes is way too short…”
• “I’m curious… Will Seong Gi Hun survive until the end of the six episodes, or will there be a new winner?”
• “The gap between releases is too long…”
• “Six episodes……..”
