Now, just shy of four years later, Gi-hun's story is almost at an end, with season 3 of Squid Game scheduled to hit Netflix on June 27.

Season 3 of Squid Game will go live on Netflix at midnight on June 27 (Pacific time). This means that people living in Europe will need to wait until the morning before they can start watching, while those living in the far east will have to wait until late afternoon. Thankfully, though, every episode of Season 3 will go live at exactly the same time, meaning fans of the dystopian survival thriller will be able to binge-watch them as soon as they drop.

How Many Episodes Are There in Season 3 of Squid Game

The final season of Squid Game will be made up of just six episodes, which may well come as a disappointment to some series fans. Given that both the show's second and third seasons were filmed back-to-back and each have fewer episodes than the first, some have speculated that Netflix may have originally planned to release them as a single season: a theory that's supported by the way the second season ended. Either way, viewers will hopefully get the answers to some of the questions that they've been asking when Season 3 of Squid Game is released on June 27.
