creator Hwang Dong-hyuk recently shared his reasoning behind the series with Season 3, stating he felt the story had reached a natural conclusion.

Squid Game creator Hwang Dong-hyuk recently discussed his creative direction for the hit Netflix series, sharing that Season 3 will mark the end of the franchise.

He noted, “I believed that with that story, I was able to tell everything that I wanted to tell through the story of Squid Game and also in the perspective of Gi-hun as a character.

Hwang and Lee Jung-jae shared details about the intense second season, set to premiere on December 26. Hwang explained that Season 2 focuses on Gi-hun’s return to the deadly games with a new purpose: to dismantle the system from within. “Throughout seasons two and three, it’s going to be about that very journey by Gi-hun that you’re going to be following, both physically and emotionally,” he said (via The Hollywood Reporter).

It reflects the emotional and psychological toll of returning to a grim setting.
